If you have an unopened first-generation iPhone from 2007, it could now be worth around $50,000.
American Tattoo artist, Karen Green, who was gifted the 8 GB version of the phone and never broke the seal is set to make bank by auctioning the tech relic.
Originally on sale for $499 (£269 at the time), the first iPhone came with a 3.5-inch screen with a 2-megapixel camera, 4 GB and 8 GB storage options and internet connectivity on a 2G network.
Last year, another unopened first-generation iPhone was auctioned off for $39,339 (£34,887).
Now, LCG Auctions has listed Green’s phone, with the bidding opening at $2,500.
While the previous phone sold for over 75 times its original £269 price tag, this one could go much much more.
Apple enthusiasts with cash to spare will have until February 19 to bid on the precious piece of tech history.
The first generation iPhone was the model originally revealed by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 2007.
When Jobs first revealed the device fifteen years ago, he called it a combination of ‘an iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator’.
The original iPhone revolutionised the smartphone market and ignited the current technological arms race.
The most recent iPhone, the recently-released iPhone 14 Pro, is on sale now with prices starting at £1,099 and finishing at £1,749 for the top-spec iPhone 14 Pro Max version.
