Elusive factory-sealed 4GB original iPhone—the 'holy grail' of all modern Apple products

Exceptionally rare and desirable unopened first-generation, first release original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Part No. MA501LL/A (4GB), Serial No. 7R726T2GVR0. The box features a life-size image of the iPhone with twelve icons on the screen, indicating that it is from the earliest production (2007); a 13th icon, for iTunes, came later in the year. The 4GB iPhone is the rarest of all original iPhones, as it was discontinued by Apple on September 5, 2007, just over two months after the pioneering product's debut. Priced at $499, the 4GB iPhone model encountered lackluster sales as most consumers opted for the $100 upgrade to double its storage capacity to 8GB. In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with trivial wear to corners. Accompanied by an Apache 1800 weatherproof protective case.

Original, sealed Apple products have seen a dramatic increase in interest from collectors in recent years, with iPhones regularly achieving new record prices. Factory-sealed 4GB iPhones are widely considered the 'holy grail' of all modern Apple items, with this unopened box representing the cleanest example that we have yet offered.
