all right in the enthusiast world of Standards generally old pieces of technology aren'' t actually all that fascinating like who wishes to buy an iPhone 6 now the top most searched for piece of technology in The Collection agency world is the manufacturing facility sealed unopened original iPhone now fun truth back when we mosted likely to go make that uh evaluating every iPhone video we did have to go back and find and buy a functioning variation of each and every single apple iphone ever made and the additional back you go the harder it is to discover a functioning version and we ultimately did find a couple like these 3 initial made use of however still working apples iphone from 2007.
Perhaps it'' s because they ' re 16 years of ages they are really batter however the truth that they ' re still working is sort of a wonder finding one that is original still sealed never been opened up never also been touched by human hands or seen by human eyes is extremely rare it'' s so uncommon that'I ' ve actually seen lots of people obtain scammed by this an unopened iPhone is so uncommon and beneficial that people will in fact secure an utilized initial iPhone and market it online as an initial and guy YouTubers have succumbed this investing countless dollars to attempt to obtain their hands on what they assumed was mosting likely to be an unblemished iPhone it'' s just insane that individuals go out scamming such as this but hey the distinction in value between simply any kind of old original iPhone and a brand-new sealed unblemished iPhone is gigantic and it'' s well worth the price of the cellophane and the heat gun and the initiative called for to make an old iPhone seem brand-new just about 6 million initial gen iPhones were ever sold and so certainly the variety of unopened ones will just ever before drop from here and it'' s kind of this strange game of trying to figure out when their worth has come to a head and looking at the numbers it really seems like it has come to a head so one in fact cost a public auction in February this year for over sixty thousand dollars which was a record and the greatest we'' ve ever before seen then one more one appeared at a public auction in March a month later on that a person chose fifty 5 thousand bucks then there was one with this lucky you sticker label much more rare they most likely thought they were going to obtain the most money for it yet it in fact rose at a public auction a few weeks earlier in Chicago and somebody scooped it for only forty thousand dollars I think they obtained a bit of a discount because that person was me and this is the plan it was available in uh since that public auction residence was not fooling around it was really sort of unique winning this auction just for the record it'' s not like a normal auction site like ebay.com where you simply click a switch and you win this is an actual public auction like a live streamed video clip of a man with a gavel going to get 6000 over right here 6500 in the front row we obtained 6 800 on the phone till we hear seven thousand 7 thousand here and it simply maintains going and you can get involved from throughout the world so they were undergoing a lot of stuff and the apple iphone was thing number 203 and so when they obtained to 203 I logged right into the website and I had my initial offer positioned which was the minimum of 32 000 the contents have been x-rayed verified going when going twice offered to the on the internet prospective buyer moving on I just won like that was the moment when I dedicated to uh figuring this whole point out and so the remainder of the cost was simply uh sales tax obligation and uh bidding costs and shipping which really feels like an actually great time to claim that this video is sponsored by you there'' s a great deal of points that we might have invested forty thousand bucks on like video camera equipment for instance but we decided to do this therefore we'' ve revived the MKBHD matte black wallet it was super limited version before however they were extremely prominent so we'' re bringing them back in a somewhat less limited version at shop.mkbhd.com they'' re additionally truly ill and currently I can claim that this video is implemented by my wallet the link is below please get one have I made a substantial mistake just one method to discover yet uh it'' s time to dig into this big cage [Music] so my biggest concern as I enter into this is how do I verify if this is actually brand-new and Unblemished by human hands like on the auction website we did see that there were uh there were some X-rays and the x-rays are trendy and they make it feel really main however all we really understand by seeing those x-rays is that the devices remain in truth in the Box we wear'' t recognize if they ' re untouched oh and afterwards the other aspect of this is when you when you put in a serial number on like Apple'' s Mosaic uh you can see that it is not signed up so whoever obtained this phone originally which I assume they claimed the name of the initial proprietor who brought it in uh never ever registered it it was never utilized it was never turned on but that doesn'' t suggest it was never opened up so this this is really much uh a trust workout a lot of layers this resembles a Russian doll of OG Technology products now this is the one where I need to be mindful I'' m a specialist individuals it'' s fine this is great there it is that is the product packaging of this all new however additionally not so brand brand-new original iPhone you can see it'' s obtained a little of Browning around it I'' m not as well delay by that and several of the articles that I read online after I purchased it were saying generally this break here in the edge and uh a few other elements are perhaps why it went a little bit less than the record sixty thousand dollar price it likewise has this upside down fortunate you sticker every write-up that I'' ve reviewed that I ' ve looked up about this fortunate you sticker nobody seems to recognize what it is it'' s type of confusing because it is incredibly uncommon various other initial covered iPhones don'' t have this sticker I even asked people at Apple they put on'' t know what it suggests there are a lot of things I assume people neglected regarding the initial apple iphone one is it didn'' t have an Application Shop so it was simply the applications that were on it and 2 you couldn'' t set a wallpaper with the very first variation of iOS so everybody'' s iPhone looked specifically the exact same so with no additional ado okay this is the minute that all the worth simply went from forty thousand to uh I don'' t recognize relies on how great the condition of the phone is yet the cling wrap 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 means it appeared facing you on the leading wow I believe that is actually brand-new just a little thing simply a nicely developed little Factory seal thing oh this is harder than a this occurred in Justine'' s video this is a tough screen guard to remove fine so there'' s a little piece of plastic difficult plastic in fact after that there is the records authorized designed by Apple in The golden state I in fact don'' t recognize if there ' s a sticker label this is now all brand-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 apple iphone on it interesting fingertips these are all the uh the ideas for making use of and operating your iPhone in 2007 exactly how to establish a passcode exactly how to send out a message how to surf the web and uh oh the stickers are a little Askew is that just how they were can you see those how they'' re among them is upside-down and tilted the other one'' s ideal side up and tilted so it sort of it type of appearances on objective but additionally looks different due to the fact that they'' re typically straightened currently there is much more this is what I was discussing this is what was x-rayed by the auction home simply to validate that they'' re right here however they ' re all likewise still sealed in the box so USB a wall surface block you additionally have a 30 pin dock with an earphone jack out on the back this behaves allow'' s open those allow ' s open up the dock [Music] that is brand name brand-new wow it would appear like that uh you also obtain 2 more points you obtain a 30 pin USB a to 30 pin charging cord and data cable you connect this right into iTunes connect it into your computer and earpods this was back in the famous days of well the shape commercials and the white earphones and connecting the cable into your phone that really feels very official I wear'' t assume it ' s going to activate however I ' m gon na hold the power switch anyhow this is among those points where like it'' s a 16 year old battery of course it'' s not mosting likely to activate that would certainly be a quite red flag really if it did start up if it all right it doesn'' t that ' s excellent is this this all just seems like specifically what they didn'' t desire me to do when I bought this original iphone appearance at the distinction in between that all new fresh piece of steel versus one that someone was out utilizing in their everyday lives so while I await this a little to simply probably take a minute to charge however I seem like I can state that with all that I know and all the study that I'' ve done going right into this acquisition it looks like this set is legitimately brand brand-new and unopened if any person can inform me if any person knows or if anybody who'' s viewing this worked in Apple retail around the time in 2007 when the apple iphone was launched what happens if this originated from Apple or if this is something completely different I would certainly like to understand since that would certainly be really fascinating there'' s one tale online about just how it might have been like a holiday sticker that understands all right we'' re back in fact I ' m back the following day thus the various shirt and the haircut however overlook that uh and I want to review everything that I discovered since we now have actually gotten the apple iphone to switch on and I am convinced that it is an unopened original and I additionally discovered some aspects of the iPhone 2.
So to start with I am convinced that it'' s an unopened initial due to the fact that of this reduce wrap being super old due to the fact that of the shrink wrap that was around the apple iphone that was inside package being perfect looking and also the reality that it'' s actually remarkably challenging to obtain a 1.0 iPhone to get past this uh iTunes boot screen if you really download and install an old variation of iTunes and plug it in and try to activate it you can obtain remarkably much and still not actually obtain it to turn on that all type of lens Credence to the truth that we might obtain various other iPhones to activate since they had later versions of software program lengthy tale short this is as much as we got with it and it does switch on and work the unusual thing that we located was number one this is the initial brick and the initial cable that featured the iPhone we connected them in over night 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 began to charge 2nd point to learn exists was no SIM card ejector device with the iPhone whatsoever yet when you do grab a SIM card injector tool and pop open the SIM card tray at the leading you will certainly locate that there is an enormous SIM card included with the apple iphone so this was a at T reduce particular special when it appeared and check out the size of this SIM card this is the uh the initial dimension SIM card back then before micro and nano SIM cards yet then yeah I did not bear in mind that it shipped with this dock until I did my research study and I also didn'' t understand it would ship with a black microfiber and these Apple stickers that are slightly Askew and this brand name new beautiful iPhone is currently worth considerably much less than what I spent for it which'' s alright to make sure that ' ll be it with any luck I wear'' t remorse this thank you so much for viewing and once more if anybody understands what the fortunate you sticker label implies certainly strike us up in the remarks or on Twitter speak with you men in the next one tranquility [Songs] [Songs] international [Applause]
