all right in the collector world of Classics generally old items of tech aren'' t really all that intriguing like that desires to acquire an apple iphone 6 today the top most sought after piece of technology in The Enthusiast world is the manufacturing facility sealed unopened initial iPhone now fun fact when we mosted likely to go make that uh examining each and every single iPhone video we did need to go back and find as well as buy a functioning version of each and every single apple iphone ever before made and also the more back you go the tougher it is to discover a working version as well as we at some point did find a couple like these 3 original used however still working apples iphone from 2007.
Maybe it'' s due to the fact that they ' re 16 years of ages they are actually attack yet the reality that they ' re still functioning is sort of a wonder discovering one that is original still secured never ever been opened up never ever even been touched by human hands or seen by human eyes is exceptionally rare it'' s so rare that'I ' ve actually seen numerous people obtain scammed by this an unopened apple iphone is so rare and also important that people will actually secure a made use of initial apple iphone and sell it online as an initial and also male YouTubers have actually come down with this investing countless dollars to try to obtain their hands on what they believed was mosting likely to be an unblemished apple iphone it'' s simply crazy that people go out scamming like this yet hey the difference in worth between simply any old original apple iphone as well as a brand-new sealed unblemished apple iphone is massive and also it'' s well worth the cost of the cellophane and also the heat gun and the effort needed to make an old iPhone seem brand-new only about 6 million very first gen apples iphone were ever marketed and also so certainly the number of unopened ones will just ever before decrease from right here and it'' s kind of this unusual video game of trying to figure out when their value has come to a head as well as considering the numbers it really feels like it has peaked so one actually marketed at a public auction in February this year for over sixty thousand dollars which was a record and the greatest we'' ve ever before seen after that one more one appeared at an auction in March a month later that a person went for fifty five thousand dollars then there was one with this lucky you sticker much more unusual they probably assumed they were going to get the most cash for it however it actually went up at a public auction a few weeks ago in Chicago and somebody scooped it for only forty thousand bucks I presume they obtained a bit of a discount because that individual was me and this is the plan it was available in uh because that public auction house was not messing around it was really kind of unique winning this auction simply for the document it'' s not like a typical public auction site like ebay.com where you simply click a button and you win this is a real public auction like an online streamed video clip of a person with a gavel going to get 6000 over right here 6500 in the front row we obtained 6 800 on the phone up until we listen to 7 thousand 7 thousand below as well as it simply maintains going and you can participate from anywhere in the world so they were going via a bunch of stuff as well as the iPhone was thing number 203 and also so when they reached 203 I logged right into the website and I had my initial deal put which was the minimum of 32 000 the contents have been x-rayed validated going once going two times sold to the online bidder relocating on I simply won like that was the moment when I committed to uh figuring this entire thing out and so the remainder of the rate was simply uh sales tax as well as uh bidding process costs and also delivery which seems like a really great time to say that this video is funded by you there'' s a great deal of things that we could have invested forty thousand bucks on like cam tools for example however we made a decision to do this therefore we'' ve restored the MKBHD matte black budget it was extremely restricted edition before yet they were incredibly popular so we'' re bringing them back in a somewhat much less limited edition at shop.mkbhd.com they'' re also truly ill and currently I can state that this video is implemented by my budget the web link is listed below please buy one have I made a big blunder just one method to figure out but uh it'' s time to explore this gigantic cage [Music] so my greatest concern as I enter this is exactly how do I verify if this is really all new and also Untouched by human hands like on the auction website we did see that there were uh there were some X-rays as well as the x-rays are amazing and also they make it feel really official but all we really recognize by seeing those x-rays is that the devices are in reality in the Box we put on'' t understand if they ' re untouched oh and then the various other aspect of this is when you when you place in a serial number on like Apple'' s Mosaic uh you can see that it is not signed up so whoever got this phone initially which I think they said the name of the initial owner who brought it in uh never registered it it was never utilized it was never ever triggered but that doesn'' t suggest it was never opened so this this is quite uh a depend on exercise a lot of layers this resembles a Russian doll of OG Tech items currently this is the one where I require to be mindful I'' m a professional people it'' s fine this is great there it is that is the product packaging of this all new however also not so brand-new original apple iphone you can see it'' s got a little bit of Browning around it I'' m not too delay by that and a few of the short articles that I read online after I purchased it were stating basically this break right here in the edge as well as uh some other variables are perhaps why it went a bit reduced than the document sixty thousand dollar rate it also has this upside down lucky you sticker label every write-up that I'' ve read that I ' ve looked up about this lucky you sticker nobody appears to know what it is it'' s type of perplexing due to the fact that it is super rare other initial closed iPhones wear'' t have this sticker I also asked people at Apple they don'' t understand what it implies there are many points I assume people neglected about the original apple iphone one is it didn'' t have an Application Store so it was simply the apps that got on it as well as 2 you couldn'' t established a wallpaper with the very first variation of iphone so everyone'' s apple iphone looked exactly the very same so without any kind of further trouble all right this is the moment that all the worth simply went from forty thousand to uh I put on'' t understand depends upon just how good the condition of the phone is but the cling wrap this 16 year old it it does have a scent oh expensive so they had foam in the top of the boxes as well as this is the method it turned up encountering you on the leading wow I believe that is actually new just a little thing just a perfectly created little Manufacturing facility seal thing oh this is harder than a this taken place in Justine'' s video this is a hard display guard to take off all right so there'' s a little piece of plastic tough plastic in fact after that there is the papers authorized made by Apple in The golden state I in fact wear'' t understand if there ' s a sticker this is currently all brand-new region for me regardless of it being old oh there'' s more there ' s a there ' s a whole microfiber inside that states apple iphone on it intriguing fingertips these are all the uh the pointers for using as well as operating your iPhone in 2007 just how to establish a passcode how to send out a message just how to search the web and also uh oh the sticker labels are a bit Askew is that just how they were can you see those how they'' re among them is inverted as well as tilted the other one'' s best side up as well as slanted so it sort of it type of view on function however additionally looks different due to the fact that they'' re typically straightened now there is also much more this is what I was discussing this is what was x-rayed by the public auction house just to verify that they'' re right here yet they ' re all likewise still sealed in the box so USB a wall brick you also have a 30 pin dock with a headphone jack out on the back this behaves allow'' s open those let ' s open the dock [Songs] that is all new wow it would appear like that uh you also get two more points you obtain a 30 pin USB a to 30 pin billing cord and also data wire you connect this into iTunes connect it into your computer and also earpods this was back in the iconic days of well the shape commercials and the white earphones and plugging the cable right into your phone that feels very legit I wear'' t believe it ' s going to transform on however I ' m gon na hold the power button anyhow this is among those things where like it'' s a 16 year old battery of program it'' s not mosting likely to switch on that would be a rather red flag actually if it did boot if it okay it doesn'' t that ' s great is this this all just feels like precisely what they didn'' t desire me to do when I got this original iphone consider the distinction in between that new fresh item of steel versus one that somebody was out using in their everyday lives so while I wait on this a little to simply probably take a minute to charge but I seem like I can claim that with all that I understand as well as all the study that I'' ve done going into this purchase it looks like this set is legally new as well as unopened if anyone can tell me if anybody understands or if anyone who'' s seeing this functioned in Apple retail around the moment in 2007 when the iPhone was released what if this originated from Apple or if this is something entirely various I would enjoy to understand since that would certainly be really interesting there'' s one story online regarding just how it may have been like a vacation period sticker who recognizes all right we'' re back really I ' m back the next day hence the different t-shirt and the haircut yet overlook that uh as well as I intend to look at every little thing that I learned due to the fact that we now have gotten the iPhone to activate and I am convinced that it is an unopened original and I additionally found out some features of the apple iphone 2.
So to start with I am encouraged that it'' s an unopened initial since of this shrink wrap being incredibly old since of the shrink cover that was around the apple iphone that was inside the Box being perfect looking and also also the truth that it'' s in fact remarkably challenging to get a 1.0 apple iphone to obtain past this uh iTunes boot display if you actually download an old version of iTunes and connect it in as well as try to activate it you can get surprisingly much and also still not actually obtain it to activate that all kind of lens Support to the truth that we can obtain other apples iphone to trigger due to the fact that they had later on versions of software program long tale short this is regarding we obtained with it as well as it does turn on and also function the unusual point that we located was top this is the original brick as well as the initial cord that featured the apple iphone we plugged them in overnight we came back in the morning as well as it still didn'' t turn on yet when we replaced the block as well as not the cord it actually started to bill 2nd point to find out exists was no SIM card ejector device with the apple iphone whatsoever yet when you do get hold of a SIM card injector device as well as pop open the SIM card tray on top you will discover that there is a massive SIM card included with the apple iphone so this was a at T lower singular unique when it came out and also look at the size of this SIM card this is the uh the original dimension SIM card back then prior to micro as well as nano SIM cards but after that yeah I did not keep in mind that it shipped with this dock till I did my study and I also didn'' t recognize it would certainly deliver with a black microfiber as well as these Apple sticker labels that are slightly Askew and this new pristine apple iphone is currently worth drastically much less than what I spent for it which'' s all right to ensure that ' ll be it with any luck I wear'' t regret this thank you a lot for viewing as well as once again if any person recognizes what the fortunate you sticker means certainly strike us up in the comments or on Twitter speak with you people in the next one peace [Music] [Songs] foreign [Praise]
