Despite the high price, the iPhone 7 is not the most expensive iPhone! It is surpassed by the first iPhone, the iPhone 2G, which is already considered a caveman's tool and for which it was necessary to pay 445 euros when it was released (if inflation is taken into account, the price would be 615 euros), but today it is sold for 8,500 US dollars. How is this possible?
In contrast to most technologies that over the years loses value, is the story with some Apple phones iPhone different. It was not for nothing that the iPhone was declared the most influential technological device of all time. iPhone 2G, as the first iPhone was called, is as good as wine, getting more and more expensive over the years. Today it is worth much more than upon release in 2007, when it was considered a technological innovation, but today it is antiques. In technological years, it is already a downright antique.
Apple has discontinued the first generation iPhone July 2008. It sold 6.1 million copies, which did not even have an operating system labeled iOS, because at that time it did not exist at all, but an OS labeled 3.1.3. But then how can it be iPhone 2G worth more than an iPhone 7, but if we all had it once?

It should be known that the first iPhone was released at a time when they touch screens barely out of the bandages, and various protective cases and other types of protection were not yet so widespread.
As a result, most iPhones that survive today are 2G in one way or another damaged and non-functioning, and this greatly increases the price of well-preserved and still working representatives of the first generation, especially those that remained closed in the packaging.
If we also take into account that the sales of the iPhone were actually ridiculously small compared to today's models, the stock of the 'granddaddy' of iPhones rises even more. It might be his, for today antediluvian technology time has really flown by, and that's why he has his first iPhone headphone jack!
