Unopened first-generation original Apple iPhone from 2007. Highly desirable first release in 8GB form.  It’s important to note that the box detail of the first release 8GB differs from the subsequent 8GB model released several months later. The original release is most easily identified by the original 12 icons on the face of the box. The later released 8GB added a 13^th icon (an “iTunes” icon). Our offering is a genuine first release model with the original 12 icons. 

The first release 8GB model has an impressive public sales history, realizing $35,414 in August 2022, $39,339 in October 2022, and peaking at $63,356 in February 2023 resulting in widespread media coverage from major outlets including CNN, NPR, BBC, and others.  

Here we have an identical model accompanied by pristine provenance. The item was consigned directly by the original owner David Tuttleman, a well-known businessman in Wilmington, Delaware. This factory sealed, first-release example is in excellent condition. Imperfections pin hole size breaks in the seal at each corner (very common), and a larger break in the upper corner out of sight on the reverse. Condition is otherwise strong with only minor imperfection. Great color with no fading whatsoever. Factory seal is intact with desirable seam pattern along the sides and bottom panels. Outstanding provenance and excellent display value highlight this iconic first-release model.  We expect this one to be a popular choice for astute collectors of high-end pop culture memorabilia.
