Reply to comment by [deleted] in A first-generation iPhone from 2007 sold for $63,356 at auction — more than 100 times its original price by dakiki

In another 15 years the price will probably more than double again as long as they don’t open it. It’s an investment at this point. Not one that I’d make at that price, but I get it.

I doubt it. The first Mac computers still go for a lot in auctions.

Yeah but do they have a swollen battery inside just at the ready to start a fire? And consider that if you try to fix it, you'll ruin the value of the thing entirely.

No, but nobody is opening these boxes in the first place so that’s a moot point. It’s purely a collector’s item and not meant for functional use.
