Time to dig through your old tech pile.

An unopened first-generation iPhone from 2007 is hitting the auction block Thursday – with an estimated value of $50,000. Originally on sale for $599, the first iPhone offered early Apple adopters a 3.5-inch screen with a 2-megapixel camera, plus 4 GB and 8 GB storage options, internet capabilities and iTunes. It had no app store, ran on a 2G network and was exclusive to AT&T’s network.

LCG Auctions is also listing Green’s phone, with bidding opening at $2,500. Green and LCG Auctions did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. The iPhone changed the way billions of people around the world communicate, make payments, do their jobs, take photos and even how they wake up in the morning. It killed dozens of industries and gave life to many more.

If this gets more than $25, then that buyer is a douche.

I have an unopened bottle of water. Is it worth something?

Does it support the pornhub app?

Please can you report on the Pfizer/Project Veritas shocking revelation. Many thanks.

Which should almost be enough to pay for a new iPhone

Dang. I already spent my savings on Tom Brady’s retirement sand

Cool

❤️

Time is a flat circle. I feel old.

Why?

I should’ve. Missed opportunity.

Uhhhn

I have a iPhone 4 with the box ready for 10k who wanna bid?

I can’t imagine there’s not warehouse full somewhere

Lose the fake accent

I have one still working and carrier unlocked from AT&T and with the original box (But it’s not sealed.) Not only is the iOS obsolete and not supported by the App Store, but the 2G cell service is likely no longer supported by any cell carriers either. I’d sell mine for $1500!

Battery def dead by now.

When will you call out Biden for his lies?

I do have the first Nokia tablet N800. Any 5k, I'm selling... Lol

A fool and his money are soon parted... 💸

$50,000 for an outdated iPhone?! Not a chance.

Why

So many people will keep old useless tech unused now because of this.
