I Spent $40,000 to Unbox a Sealed Original iPhone!

all right in the enthusiast globe of Standards generally old pieces of technology aren'' t really all that interesting like that desires to acquire an apple iphone 6 now the leading most searched for piece of technology in The Enthusiast globe is the factory sealed unopened original iPhone currently enjoyable truth back when we mosted likely to go make that uh evaluating every iPhone video we did need to go back and find and buy a working variation of every apple iphone ever before made and the further back you go the more difficult it is to find a working variation and we ultimately did locate a couple like these three original made use of however still working apples iphone from 2007. perhaps it'' s due to the fact that they ' re 16 years of ages they are truly attack yet the reality that they ' re still working is type of a wonder discovering one that is initial still sealed never ever been opened never ever even been touched by human hands or seen by human eyes is exceptionally unusual it'' s so unusual that'I ' ve really seen lots of people obtain scammed by this an unopened apple iphone is so uncommon and useful that individuals will actually seal an utilized original apple iphone and offer it online as an initial and male YouTubers have actually dropped victim to this costs thousands of bucks to try to obtain their hands on what they assumed was going to be an untouched iPhone it'' s just crazy that individuals go out scamming such as this but hey the difference in worth between simply any type of old original iPhone and a new secured unblemished iPhone is enormous and it'' s well worth the price of the cellophane and the warmth gun and the effort needed to make an old iPhone seem brand-new just about 6 million very first gen iPhones were ever before offered therefore obviously the variety of unopened ones will only ever before decrease from below and it'' s type of this weird video game of trying to determine when their value has actually come to a head and considering the numbers it in fact feels like it has come to a head so one in fact offered at a public auction in February this year for over sixty thousand dollars which was a document and the highest we'' ve ever before seen after that one more one showed up at a public auction in March a month later on that went with fifty five thousand bucks after that there was one with this fortunate you sticker a lot more uncommon they possibly assumed they were going to get one of the most money for it but it really increased at an auction a few weeks ago in Chicago and someone scooped it for only forty thousand bucks I think they obtained a little bit of a discount since that individual was me and this is the bundle it can be found in uh since that public auction residence was not fooling around it was actually sort of unique winning this auction simply for the document it'' s not like a typical public auction website like ebay.com where you simply click a switch and you win this is a real auction like a live streamed video of an individual with a gavel going to get 6000 over right here 6500 in the front row we obtained 6 800 on the phone until we hear seven thousand seven thousand below and it simply maintains going and you can take part from throughout the world so they were undergoing a number of things and the apple iphone was product number 203 and so when they got to 203 I logged right into the website and I had my preliminary offer placed which was the minimum of 32 000 the materials have actually been x-rayed confirmed going once going two times marketed to the on-line prospective buyer proceeding I just won like that was the minute when I committed to uh figuring this entire thing out and so the remainder of the cost was just uh sales tax obligation and uh bidding process costs and delivery which feels like an actually great time to state that this video is funded by you there'' s a lot of things that we could have invested forty thousand bucks on like cam tools as an example however we chose to do this therefore we'' ve brought back the MKBHD matte black budget it was very minimal edition prior to yet they were preferred so we'' re bringing them back in a slightly much less restricted version at shop.mkbhd.com they'' re likewise actually ill and currently I can say that this video is made feasible by my pocketbook the link is below please buy one have I made a significant mistake just one way to figure out but uh it'' s time to dig right into this gigantic cage [Music] so my most significant concern as I get into this is how do I verify if this is really brand-new and Untouched by human hands like on the public auction site we did see that there were uh there were some X-rays and the x-rays are great and they make it really feel truly main yet all we truly know by seeing those x-rays is that the devices remain in truth in the Box we don'' t recognize if they ' re untouched oh and afterwards the other thing regarding this is when you when you place in a serial number on like Apple'' s Checker uh you can see that it is not registered so whoever got this phone originally which I think they said the name of the initial proprietor who brought it in uh never ever registered it it was never ever used it was never activated but that doesn'' t mean it was never opened up so this this is really much uh a count on workout a lot of layers this is like a Russian doll of OG Technology products currently this is the one where I need to be mindful I'' m an expert guys it'' s fine this is great there it is that is the packaging of this all new yet additionally not so brand-new original iPhone you can see it'' s obtained a bit of Browning around it I'' m not too put off by that and some of the posts that I review online after I bought it were saying primarily this break here in the corner and uh some various other variables are perhaps why it went a little bit less than the record sixty thousand buck price it also has this upside-down lucky you sticker label every short article that I'' ve read that I ' ve sought out concerning this lucky you sticker no one seems to understand what it is it'' s sort of perplexing since it is super uncommon other initial covered apples iphone wear'' t have this sticker label I even asked people at Apple they don'' t know what it suggests there are many things I believe people ignored the initial iPhone one is it didn'' t have an App Shop so it was just the apps that were on it and 2 you couldn'' t set a wallpaper with the very first version of iOS so everybody'' s iPhone looked exactly the very same so without any kind of more ado okay this is the moment that all the worth just went from forty thousand to uh I don'' t understand relies on how great the problem of the phone is however the cling wrap this 16 years of age it it does have an odor oh expensive so they had foam in the top of packages and this is the means it turned up encountering you on the leading wow I believe that is actually all new simply a little thing simply a perfectly developed little Factory seal thing oh this is harder than a this happened in Justine'' s video clip this is a hard screen protector to remove alright so there'' s a little piece of plastic hard plastic actually then there is the papers authorized developed by Apple in The golden state I really don'' t recognize if there ' s a sticker this is currently all brand-new area for me in spite of it being old oh there'' s a lot more there ' s a there ' s an entire microfiber inside that says iPhone on it intriguing fingertips these are all the uh the suggestions for using and running your iPhone in 2007 exactly how to set a passcode exactly how to send out a message just how to surf the web and uh oh the sticker labels are a bit Askew is that exactly how they were can you see those exactly how they'' re one of them is inverted and tilted the other one'' s best side up and tilted so it sort of it sort of view objective however additionally looks different since they'' re typically lined up currently there is even much more this is what I was chatting concerning this is what was x-rayed by the auction home just to validate that they'' re right here however they ' re all also still secured in package so USB a wall surface brick you additionally have a 30 pin dock with a headphone jack out on the back this is wonderful allow'' s open those let ' s open the dock [Music] that is brand-new wow it would look like that uh you also obtain two even more things you get a 30 pin USB a to 30 pin charging cord and information cord you plug this into iTunes plug it right into your computer and earpods this was back in the renowned days of well the silhouette commercials and the white headphones and plugging the cord right into your phone that really feels really legitimate I don'' t think it ' s going to activate but I ' m gon na hold the power switch anyway this is just one of those things where like it'' s a 16 years of age battery certainly it'' s not mosting likely to switch on that would certainly be a pretty warning really if it did boot up if it fine it doesn'' t that ' s good is this this all just seems like exactly what they didn'' t desire me to do when I purchased this initial apple iphone appearance at the distinction in between that all new fresh piece of steel versus one that someone was out utilizing in their day-to-day lives so while I await this a bit to simply probably take a minute to charge however I seem like I can claim that with all that I understand and all the study that I'' ve done entering into this acquisition it seems like this one is properly all new and unopened if anybody can inform me if anyone knows or if any individual that'' s watching this functioned in Apple retail around the moment in 2007 when the iPhone was launched what if this originated from Apple or if this is something completely various I would like to understand since that would certainly be actually interesting there'' s one story online regarding just how it could have been like a holiday sticker label who knows all right we'' re back really I ' m back the next day hence the various t shirt and the haircut yet disregard that uh and I want to go over whatever that I discovered due to the fact that we currently have actually gotten the apple iphone to turn on and I am persuaded that it is an unopened original and I additionally discovered some aspects of the apple iphone 2.

So firstly I am convinced that it'' s an unopened initial since of this diminish cover being extremely old as a result of the diminish cover that was around the apple iphone that was inside package being perfect looking and even the truth that it'' s actually remarkably difficult to get a 1.0 apple iphone to surpass this uh iTunes boot screen if you really download an old variation of iTunes and connect it in and attempt to trigger it you can get remarkably much and still not in fact obtain it to turn on that all kind of lens Support to the reality that we could get various other iPhones to trigger because they had later versions of software program long story short this is as for we obtained with it and it does switch on and work the unusual thing that we found was number one this is the original block and the initial cord that included the apple iphone we plugged them in over night we returned in the early morning and it still didn'' t turn on however when we changed the brick and not the cable it really started to charge 2nd point to find out is there was no SIM card ejector device with the iPhone at all but when you do order a SIM card injector device and pop open up the SIM card tray on top you will find that there is an enormous SIM card consisted of with the iPhone so this was a at T lower single special when it appeared and check out the dimension of this SIM card this is the uh the initial dimension SIM card back in the day before micro and nano SIM cards but after that yeah I did not bear in mind that it shipped with this dock until I did my research study and I also didn'' t recognize it would ship with a black microfiber and these Apple stickers that are somewhat Askew and this brand-new immaculate apple iphone is now worth considerably less than what I paid for it and that'' s alright to ensure that ' ll be it hopefully I don'' t regret this thank you so a lot for seeing and once again if anybody knows what the lucky you sticker label means absolutely hit us up in the remarks or on Twitter talk with you men in the next one peace [Songs] [Songs] international [Praise]
