Old iPhone brings in a lot of money again
Do you have an old iPhone lying around at home? And more importantly: is the box still unopened? Then it is quite possible that you can still ask for quite a bit of money when selling your old iPhone. Last month, an unopened first-generation iPhone from 2007 went under the hammer. And with success: the iPhone model was sold for no less than 63,356.40 US dollars.

This month it’s hit again, because a ‘vintage’ iPhone from 2007 in factory packaging has again yielded a sky-high amount. The old iPhone sold for $55,000 at auction. It is an iPhone model with 8 GB storage, released on June 29, 2007. The iPhone retailed for $599 at the time, so this device has grossed more than $54,000 in profit.
Apple employee never opened 2007 iPhone
The phone was in the hands of an Apple employee. He received the iPhone from Apple in 2007. However, the employee never opened the packaging because he received another iPhone from Apple as a work phone. The original iPhone has therefore never been used and that now appears to yield a huge amount of money.
The amount of $ 55,000 is therefore not a record return for the safe of an old iPhone. The amount of $ 63,356.40 last month was. An original iPhone has never brought in so much money; the previous record was $39,339.60. This too was a 2007 factory-packaged iPhone, with 8 GB of storage.
Only original iPhones in factory packaging yield a lot of money
So you can charge quite a bit of money for selling your old iPhone from 2007. A requirement here is that your iPhone is still in its original factory packaging. Did you unpack the iPhone years ago? Then the phone delivers a lot less.
