Unsealed, unused first-generation original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Part No. MA712LL/A (8GB), Serial No. 7S7280JEWH8. 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. This example has had the plastic wrap cut precisely along three edges of the rear, retaining the original plastic on the box cover; because it was opened with such great care, the box effectively displays as an unsealed example. The iPhone is unused and retains its protective plastic covering over the screen, with other protective plastic removed but retained inside the box. Also includes the original earbud headphones (still sealed), charging block, and packet containing iPhone literature (annotated with IMEI information), Apple stickers, and a microfiber cloth; curiously, the dock and 30-pin USB cable are missing. In brand new, unsealed condition.
‘iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,’ Steve Jobs said during his keynote speech that introduced the innovative product. He was right. Developed in secrecy, the original iPhone is the smartphone that transformed the industry, revolutionizing cellphone design as one of the first 'slate' form factor phones. The iPhone removed nearly all physical controls in favor of an easy-to-use capacitive touchscreen interface. It put the internet into our pockets with the first full-featured mobile web browser, and essentially launched the market for apps with the introduction of the App Store, making third-party applications easy to access and download. The iPhone ushered in the modern age of the smartphone and catapulted Apple to the top of the charts as one of the world's most valuable companies.
