TL;DR Summary

A first-edition, unopened 4GB Apple iPhone from 2007 sold for $190,372.80 at an auction in the US, nearly 400 times its original price. Considered a "Holy Grail" by iPhone collectors, the rare model attracted 28 bids and was described as "exceedingly rare" and in exceptional condition. Originally retailing at $599, the 4GB model was discontinued just two months after its launch due to lagging sales. This record-breaking sale adds to the list of rare Apple memorabilia and relics that have fetched high prices at auctions.
