all right in the collector world of Standards typically old pieces of tech aren'' t truly all that fascinating like that wants to buy an iPhone 6 right now the top most searched for item of tech in The Enthusiast globe is the manufacturing facility sealed unopened initial iPhone currently fun fact back when we mosted likely to go make that uh reviewing every iPhone video clip we did need to go back as well as find and also get a working variation of every single apple iphone ever before made and the more back you go the more difficult it is to discover a working variation as well as we eventually did find a couple like these three initial utilized however still working iPhones from 2007.
Possibly it'' s since they ' re 16 years old they are actually batter yet the reality that they ' re still functioning is sort of a wonder finding one that is initial still secured never been opened up never ever even been touched by human hands or seen by human eyes is incredibly rare it'' s so uncommon that'I ' ve in fact seen lots of people obtain scammed by this an unopened apple iphone is so rare as well as valuable that individuals will really seal a used initial iPhone and offer it online as an initial as well as guy YouTubers have actually succumbed to this costs thousands of dollars to try to obtain their hands on what they thought was going to be an unblemished apple iphone it'' s just insane that people head out scamming such as this yet hey the distinction in value in between simply any kind of old original iPhone and a new secured untouched iPhone is enormous and also it'' s well worth the cost of the cellophane and the warm gun and also the effort required to make an old iPhone seem new only regarding 6 million first gen apples iphone were ever marketed and also so obviously the variety of unopened ones will only ever go down from right here as well as it'' s type of this strange game of attempting to identify when their worth has peaked and also checking out the numbers it really feels like it has actually come to a head so one in fact cost an auction in February this year for over sixty thousand bucks which was a record and the highest we'' ve ever before seen after that another one showed up at a public auction in March a month later that a person opted for fifty 5 thousand dollars after that there was one with this lucky you sticker even more uncommon they probably thought they were going to get the most cash for it however it actually increased at an auction a few weeks ago in Chicago and also someone scooped it for just forty thousand bucks I guess they got a little bit of a discount rate since that person was me as well as this is the bundle it came in uh because that public auction home was not messing around it was in fact type of unique winning this public auction simply for the record it'' s not like a typical public auction website like ebay.com where you just click a switch as well as you win this is a real auction like a real-time streamed video of a guy with a gavel going to get 6000 over below 6500 in the front row we obtained 6 800 on the phone up until we listen to 7 thousand 7 thousand here and also it just maintains going and also you can participate from throughout the globe so they were undergoing a bunch of things and the iPhone was thing number 203 as well as so when they got to 203 I logged into the website and also I had my preliminary deal put which was the minimum of 32 000 the materials have been x-rayed confirmed going once going two times marketed to the on-line prospective buyer going on I just won like that was the minute when I dedicated to uh figuring this entire thing out and so the rest of the cost was just uh sales tax and also uh bidding premium as well as shipping which really feels like a truly great time to claim that this video clip is funded by you there'' s a great deal of points that we can have invested forty thousand bucks on like cam tools for example yet we made a decision to do this therefore we'' ve revived the MKBHD matte black pocketbook it was extremely limited edition before yet they were incredibly popular so we'' re bringing them back in a slightly less restricted edition at shop.mkbhd.com they'' re likewise truly ill and also now I can state that this video is implemented by my pocketbook the web link is below please get one have I made a significant blunder just one way to figure out however uh it'' s time to dig right into this big crate [Songs] so my biggest question as I get into this is exactly how do I verify if this is in fact all new and also Unblemished by human hands like on the auction site we did see that there were uh there were some X-rays and also the x-rays are cool and also they make it feel truly main but all we actually recognize by seeing those x-rays is that the devices are in fact in the Box we put on'' t understand if they ' re unblemished oh as well as after that the various other aspect of this is when you when you put 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 stated the name of the initial owner that brought it in uh never registered it it was never ever used it was never activated yet that doesn'' t suggest it was never ever opened up so this this is quite uh a trust exercise so numerous layers this is like a Russian doll of OG Tech items now this is the one where I need to be careful I'' m an expert individuals it'' s fine this is great there it is that is the product packaging of this brand-new but additionally not so brand-new original iPhone you can see it'' s obtained a little bit of Browning around it I'' m not as well avoid by that as well as several of the write-ups that I check out online after I purchased it were stating basically this break here in the edge and also uh a few other factors are possibly why it went a little less than the document sixty thousand buck rate it also has this upside-down fortunate you sticker every article that I'' ve checked out that I ' ve looked up concerning this lucky you sticker no one seems to know what it is it'' s kind of puzzling since it is incredibly rare various other initial sealed apples iphone put on'' t have this sticker label I also asked individuals at Apple they put on'' t know what it suggests there are many things I believe individuals ignored the original apple iphone one is it didn'' t have an App Store so it was simply the applications that got on it and also two you couldn'' t established a wallpaper with the initial variation of iphone so every person'' s apple iphone looked precisely the exact same so without any type of more trouble okay this is the moment that all the value just went from forty thousand to uh I put on'' t recognize relies on exactly how excellent the condition of the phone is yet the plastic cover this 16 year old it it does have a smell oh expensive so they had foam in the top of packages and also this is the means it showed up encountering you on the top wow I believe that is actually brand brand-new simply a little thing just a perfectly made little Factory seal thing oh this is more difficult than a this happened in Justine'' s video this is a tough display protector to take off okay so there'' s a little piece of plastic difficult plastic in fact after that there is the records authorized created by Apple in The golden state I actually wear'' t recognize if there ' s a sticker label this is now all new region for me despite it being old oh there'' s a lot more there ' s a there ' s an entire microfiber inside that claims iPhone on it fascinating fingertips these are all the uh the tips for making use of and also operating your iPhone in 2007 how to set a passcode just how to send a message exactly how to surf the internet as well as uh oh the sticker labels are a little Askew is that how they were can you see those how they'' re one of them is inverted and slanted the various other one'' s right side up and tilted so it sort of it kind of search objective however also looks different due to the fact that they'' re usually straightened currently there is much more this is what I was speaking about this is what was x-rayed by the auction home simply to confirm that they'' re below however they ' re all also still sealed in the box so USB a wall block you additionally have a 30 pin dock with a headphone jack out on the back this is nice let'' s open those let ' s open the dock [Songs] that is brand-new wow it would look like that uh you also obtain two even more points you get a 30 pin USB a to 30 pin charging wire as well as data cable television you plug this into iTunes plug it right into your computer system and earpods this was back in the legendary days of well the silhouette commercials as well as the white headphones and plugging the cord right into your phone that feels really legitimate I don'' t assume it ' s mosting likely to transform on however I ' m gon na hold the power switch anyhow this is just one of those points where like it'' s a 16 year old battery of course it'' s not going to switch on that would certainly be a quite warning really if it did start up if it alright it doesn'' t that ' s great is this this all just seems like specifically what they didn'' t want me to do when I purchased this initial apple iphone appearance at the difference in between that all new fresh piece of metal versus one that somebody was out utilizing in their everyday lives so while I wait on this a little to just probably take a min to bill but I seem like I can claim that with all that I know as well as all the research that I'' ve done going into this acquisition it feels like this one is properly brand brand-new as well as unopened if anybody can tell me if anybody recognizes or if any person that'' s seeing this functioned in Apple retail around the time in 2007 when the apple iphone was released suppose this came from Apple or if this is something totally various I would certainly like to recognize since that would be actually intriguing there'' s one tale online about exactly how it could have been like a holiday sticker label who recognizes all right we'' re back in fact I ' m back the following day hence the different t shirt and the hairstyle however overlook that uh and I wish to look at everything that I discovered because we now have obtained the apple iphone to switch on as well as I am encouraged that it is an unopened initial as well as I additionally found out some features of the iPhone 2.
So firstly I am encouraged that it'' s an unopened original as a result of this diminish wrap being extremely old because of the reduce wrap that was around the iPhone that was inside the Box being perfect looking as well as even the fact that it'' s really remarkably hard to obtain a 1.0 apple iphone to get past this uh iTunes boot display if you in fact download and install an old version of iTunes and plug it in and also try to activate it you can get remarkably far and still not in fact get it to trigger that all kind of lens Support to the reality that we could get other apples iphone to trigger since they had later on versions of software program lengthy tale short this is regarding we obtained with it and it does activate and also function the weird point that we discovered was number one this is the initial brick and the initial cable that included the apple iphone we plugged them in over night we returned in the morning as well as it still didn'' t turn on however when we changed the block as well as not the cable television it actually started to bill 2nd point to find out exists was no SIM card ejector device with the iPhone in all but when you do grab a SIM card injector device and also pop open up the SIM card tray at the top you will find that there is a massive SIM card consisted of with the apple iphone so this was a at T slash particular special when it came out and also check out the dimension of this SIM card this is the uh the original size SIM card in the past prior to micro and also nano SIM cards however then yeah I did not keep in mind that it shipped with this dock up until I did my research study and I likewise didn'' t understand it would certainly ship with a black microfiber and these Apple stickers that are slightly Askew and also this brand new beautiful iPhone is now worth drastically much less than what I spent for it which'' s fine so that ' ll be it hopefully I wear'' t remorse this thanks a lot for viewing as well as once again if anyone recognizes what the fortunate you sticker indicates definitely hit us up in the comments or on Twitter talk to you men in the next one tranquility [Songs] [Music] foreign [Applause]
