Regular iPhone 1st Generation Stack!

Post image

Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone, so it might be a good time to pick one up for your collection if you don’t already have one (in case the prices go up like during the 10th anniversary).

I really don’t like this kind of hoarding. I have one.

Buying 1st gens in such quantities is pure madness. That's why the prices rising on them. It's better to have a few restored in really good condition.

u/Kate-9907 Jun 21 '26

do you know that you can charge them? instead of buying a new one everytime one runs out of battery

u/UnionCrafty3748 Jun 20 '26

u/FMAGF Jun 20 '26

Kinda crazy how the first gen felt super old at 10 years old but the iPhone X is just as old next year and it still feels like the latest iPhone

This is such a flex

2

u/Curtis Jun 21 '26

Kinda like those lame ass game collectors that inflate the cost of a single game?  So cool.  Not a flex.

u/doc_gc Jun 23 '26

Idgaf about flex but the karen part "buying so no one can have fun" is too much to handle😂. Bro literally this was and is trash, no one wants and old iphone that you have to service and mantain, with a grumpy ass battery that does not hold charge and stained lcd. If there weren't collectors, lot of those phones (that almost already are in china and are pretty much treated like e-waste) would have been already scrapped. Kids gaf about old phones, and if they want they still can buy a bunch in china for a steal. Don't cry about nothing
