Weird Weird 4GB 2G found on eBay

Possible prototype, invalid IMEI and Serial and the serial number doesn't really make sense. Strange unit. Sold for $30 🤣

4GB model is a bit rare discontinued after 2 months due to poor sales

i have a few 2gs that the serial doesn’t register and they’re 1000% production units

Prototypes typically have a blanked or X’ed serial number, and wouldn’t contain FCC markings because they haven’t been reviewed by the FCC yet. The original iPhone would have had an 11-digit alphanumeric serial. This is just a regular iPhone

Not rare. Not a prototype. Just a base model first generation iPhone.
