An eBay user under the name of ‘samsonbible’ is causing quite a stir online with their recent listing of a brand new and sealed first generation iPhone with the asking price of a whopping $10,000. Wow!

Described as a stunning, rare collectors item, the iPhone is a 1st generation 8GB device which is still factory sealed.

“Piece of history”

Whilst the first generation might not be quite old enough to be described as a piece of history, it is of course 5 years young. The original iPhone launched in 2007 as a revolutionary smartphone. See our flashback to first generation iPhone release here.
