Highly desirable unopened first-release Apple iPhone from 2007. One of the most important and ubiquitous inventions of our lifetime, the iPhone was first introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007 at MacWorld San Francisco. Just over five months later it was released at retail for $499/$599 on June 29th. The original iPhone included 4/8 GB of storage, an innovative touchscreen, a 2-megapixel camera, and a web browser. The iconic box featured a life-size image of the iPhone with 12 icons on the screen. It quickly became Apple’s most successful product, forever changed the smartphone industry, and was named the Time Magazine Invention of the Year in 2007.
This factory sealed, first-release example is in excellent overall condition. Box is virtually flawless along the surface and edges, the factory seal is clean with little to no surface wear and complete with correct seam details and tightness. Please note, there is a tear to the seal on the side panel and to the back panel – see photos. Labels on the reverse are correctly pristine beneath the seal. Brand new, never activated. Relevance, rarity, and provenance linked to the original visionary comprise a winning formula for this highly coveted collectible. Model A1203, Order MA712LL/A (8GB)
