all right in the enthusiast world of Classics generally old items of tech aren'' t really all that fascinating like who intends to buy an apple iphone 6 today the leading most demanded item of technology in The Collection agency globe is the factory secured unopened original iPhone now enjoyable reality when we went to go make that uh evaluating every apple iphone video clip we did need to go back and find and buy a working version of every apple iphone ever before made and the more back you go the more difficult it is to discover a functioning variation and we at some point did locate a couple like these 3 original utilized however still functioning iPhones from 2007.
Maybe it'' s due to the fact that they ' re 16 years old they are actually beat up however the reality that they ' re still working is kind of a wonder locating one that is original 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 unusual that'I ' ve actually seen lots of people obtain scammed by this an unopened iPhone is so rare and valuable that individuals will really seal a used original apple iphone and market it online as an initial and male YouTubers have actually succumbed this costs thousands of dollars to try to get their hands on what they believed was going to be an untouched apple iphone it'' s simply insane that individuals go out scamming like this yet hey the distinction in value in between just any old original iPhone and a new secured unblemished apple iphone is massive and it'' s well worth the price of the cellophane and the warm gun and the effort required to make an old iPhone appear brand-new only regarding 6 million first gen iPhones were ever sold and so obviously the variety of unopened ones will only ever drop from here and it'' s type of this unusual game of trying to find out when their worth has peaked and looking at the numbers it actually really feels like it has peaked so one really marketed at a public auction in February this year for over sixty thousand dollars which was a record and the highest possible we'' ve ever before seen after that one more one appeared at an auction in March a month later that opted for fifty five thousand dollars after that there was one with this fortunate you sticker much more rare they possibly believed they were going to obtain the most money for it but it in fact increased at a public auction a few weeks earlier in Chicago and someone scooped it for only forty thousand bucks I think they got a bit of a discount rate because that person was me and this is the plan it came in uh since that auction home was not fooling around it was in fact kind of unique winning this public auction simply for the record it'' s not like a regular auction website like ebay.com where you simply click a button and you win this is a real public auction like a live streamed video of a person with a gavel going to obtain 6000 over here 6500 in the front row we got 6 800 on the phone until we hear seven thousand 7 thousand here and it simply maintains going and you can get involved from anywhere in the globe so they were experiencing a number of things and the apple iphone was thing number 203 and so when they reached 203 I logged into the site and I had my preliminary deal put which was the minimum of 32 000 the contents have been x-rayed validated going when going two times sold to the on the internet bidder carrying on I just won like that was the minute when I dedicated to uh figuring this whole thing out and so the remainder of the price was just uh sales tax obligation and uh bidding process costs and delivery which feels like a really great time to state that this video clip is funded by you there'' s a great deal of points that we can have spent forty thousand bucks on like camera equipment for instance yet we made a decision to do this and so we'' ve restored the MKBHD matte black budget it was super minimal version before however they were popular so we'' re bringing them back in a somewhat much less restricted edition at shop.mkbhd.com they'' re likewise actually unwell and now I can claim that this video is implemented by my purse the link is below please purchase one have I made a substantial error just one method to discover yet uh it'' s time to go into this enormous cage [Music] so my biggest concern as I enter this is just how do I validate if this is really brand-new and Unblemished by human hands like on the auction site we did see that there were uh there were some X-rays and the x-rays are cool and they make it feel actually main however all we truly recognize by seeing those x-rays is that the accessories are in truth in package we wear'' t understand if they ' re untouched oh and afterwards the various other point concerning this is when you when you place in a serial number on like Apple'' s Checker uh you can see that it is not signed up so whoever got this phone originally which I assume they said the name of the original proprietor that brought it in uh never registered it it was never ever utilized it was never ever activated but that doesn'' t suggest it was never opened so this this is very much uh a trust exercise a lot of layers this is like a Russian doll of OG Technology items now this is the one where I need to be mindful I'' m a specialist guys it'' s fine this is fine there it is that is the product packaging of this brand-new however also not so new original apple iphone you can see it'' s obtained a bit of Browning around it I'' m not too place off by that and several of the short articles that I read online after I got it were claiming generally this break here in the edge and uh some other elements are potentially why it went a little less than the document sixty thousand buck cost it likewise has this upside-down lucky you sticker label every post that I'' ve checked out that I ' ve looked up concerning this lucky you sticker no one seems to understand what it is it'' s sort of puzzling due to the fact that it is incredibly uncommon other original covered apples iphone don'' t have this sticker label I even asked people at Apple they don'' t recognize what it indicates there are so lots of things I assume people forgot regarding the initial apple iphone one is it didn'' t have an Application Store so it was simply the apps that got on it and two you couldn'' t set a wallpaper with the initial variation of iphone so every person'' s apple iphone looked specifically the exact same so without any type of more trouble okay this is the minute that all the value simply went from forty thousand to uh I wear'' t understand depends on how great the condition of the phone is but the plastic cover this 16 years of age it it does have an odor oh elegant so they had foam in the top of the boxes and this is the way it turned up encountering you on the leading wow I assume that is really brand-new just a little point just a well developed little Factory seal point oh this is more challenging than a this taken place in Justine'' s video clip this is a tough screen protector to remove alright so there'' s a little piece of plastic difficult plastic in fact after that there is the files signed made by Apple in The golden state I really don'' t recognize if there ' s a sticker this is currently all brand-new territory for me despite it being old oh there'' s much more there ' s a there ' s a whole microfiber inside that states apple iphone on it interesting fingertips these are all the uh the suggestions for making use of and operating your iPhone in 2007 exactly how to establish a passcode just how to send out a message exactly how to surf the internet and uh oh the sticker labels are a little Askew is that just how they were can you see those how they'' re one of them is inverted and tilted the other one'' s ideal side up and slanted so it kind of it sort of view function however additionally looks various because they'' re usually straightened now there is much more this is what I was discussing this is what was x-rayed by the auction residence just to validate that they'' re below however they ' re all also still secured in package so USB a wall surface block you also have a 30 pin dock with an earphone jack out on the back this is nice let'' s open those let ' s open the dock [Songs] that is new wow it would certainly resemble that uh you additionally obtain two even more things you get a 30 pin USB a to 30 pin charging cable and information cable television you plug this into iTunes connect it into your computer and earpods this was back in the legendary days of well the shape commercials and the white headphones and connecting the cord into your phone that feels really legit I wear'' t think it ' s mosting likely to switch on but I ' m gon na hold the power switch anyway this is one of those things where like it'' s a 16 years of age battery of training course it'' s not mosting likely to switch on that would certainly be a pretty warning really if it did boot if it okay it doesn'' t that ' s great is this this all just feels like exactly what they didn'' t desire me to do when I purchased this initial apple iphone check out the distinction between that new fresh piece of metal versus one that somebody was out using in their day-to-day lives so while I wait on this a bit to just possibly take a min to bill however I seem like I can say that with all that I understand and all the research that I'' ve done going right into this acquisition it looks like this is properly new and unopened if anybody can inform me if anybody recognizes or if anyone who'' s enjoying this operated in Apple retail around the moment in 2007 when the iPhone was released what if this came from Apple or if this is something entirely various I would certainly love to understand because that would certainly be truly fascinating there'' s one tale online about how it could have been like a holiday sticker who understands all right we'' re back in fact I ' m back the following day for this reason the different shirt and the haircut however ignore that uh and I want to go over everything that I discovered because we currently have actually obtained the iPhone to activate and I am encouraged that it is an unopened original and I also found out some points regarding the iPhone 2.
So to start with I am convinced that it'' s an unopened original as a result of this diminish wrap being incredibly old due to the diminish cover that was around the iPhone that was inside package being perfect looking and also the truth that it'' s really surprisingly hard to obtain a 1.0 apple iphone to obtain past this uh iTunes boot display if you actually download an old variation of iTunes and connect it in and attempt to trigger it you can get remarkably far and still not actually obtain it to activate that all kind of lens Support to the truth that we might obtain various other apples iphone to activate since they had later on versions of software application long story short this is regarding we got with it and it does switch on and work the odd thing that we located was top this is the initial brick and the original cable that came with the iPhone we plugged them in overnight we returned in the early morning and it still didn'' t turn on but when we changed the brick and not the cable television it really started to charge second thing to learn exists was no SIM card ejector tool with the iPhone whatsoever yet when you do get hold of a SIM card injector device and pop open the SIM card tray on top you will certainly locate that there is an enormous SIM card included with the apple iphone so this was a at T reduce single exclusive when it appeared and consider the dimension of this SIM card this is the uh the initial size SIM card back in the day before micro and nano SIM cards yet then yeah I did not bear in mind that it delivered 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 sticker labels that are slightly Askew and this brand brand-new beautiful iPhone is currently worth dramatically much less than what I paid for it and that'' s fine to make sure that ' ll be it with any luck I wear'' t remorse this thanks so much for viewing and once more if anybody understands what the lucky you sticker suggests definitely hit us up in the remarks or on Twitter speak with you men in the next one peace [Songs] [Songs] foreign [Applause]
