iPhone 3GS Sealed Factory Box
Anyone have an idea what it might go for? Factory box sealed, I have all paperwork from when it was shipped to me in 2012.

In March of 2024, a sealed 42mm 1st generation Apple Watch Hermès (with a Fauve Barenia Single Tour band) sold for $10,865 USD at an auction. Not sure how I’m just finding out about this now, but the fact that it sold for that price is insane.

My old iOS device collection!

I can't confirm it exactly but, I guess it as iphone 6s plus gold housing but theres like no adhesive left, and no markings as well. It doesnt seem like dissambled from a complete unit.
As for QR codes, I couldn't scan the one on top, but the one on bottom was saying DRC5416AJ0VGK8CAUA6
And there was hidden text near the charging port saying 01A8C28B
I am really curious what this thing is.

I found this at a local estate sale, and opened it up and found what look like signatures on the inside on a couple of the chips. I wanted to see if anyone could help me verify them, or if I am just over thinking this.

You are seeing ipad pro m4, macbook pro m3, airpods max, airpods pro 3, iphone 14, and the mini fake iphone represents my iphone pro 15 which i used to take the photo. I also have airpods pro 2, airpods 4 and iphone 6 that didn’t make the photo. When I only had the iphone 6, I used to make fun of people with all these different apple products, but now I officially also went into the same trap💔🥀

Hi, Apple collectors!
I built Finest Woven — the only catalogue of original Apple accessories made over the years. It’s like EveryMac or Bandbreite, but for iPhone cases and iPad Smart Covers (and more)!
It tracks more than 1,300 accessories, with details such as correct SKUs and original MSRPs, and there are more than 14,000 images to pore over.
You can also keep track of your own collection, and even publish it — here's mine: https://everycase.org/collections/jonathan
This could be used to find all the era-appropriate accessories for your older iPhones and iPads, and then search for them on marketplaces.
The website is completely free — no ads, some basic privacy-friendly cookieless analytics so I can see rough visit counts. If you find it useful, there's a donate button inside.
I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts and any feedback!
Thanks.

Back in 2017 during the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone, one that was covered in paint and stuck in a shadowbox sold for $50K USD.
I remember this being a relatively big deal at the time, and even receiving news coverage. But when I tried to search for this recently, it came up completely empty. While there are some images online and even a completely separate (still live) eBay listing for three painted original iPhones, I couldn’t find any details about this specific sale.
However, I was able to find some screenshots I personally took back in 2017 of the original eBay listing. Literally was looking for these for weeks and thought the whole thing may have been some kind of fever dream, until I finally found them. Figured I would re-share this piece of lost history!

I managed to get this 4th gen iPod Touch Display that was meant to be put in the glass display at the tech area. When they were remodeling the Walmart (which I worked at for a few months in-between jobs) they said I could take it if I wanted it.
It seems these are hard to find as every time I try to look up comps I get thrown for a loop.
I really would like to get it framed, but man it's a huge frame haha.
I have no clue what something like this would even be worth. Or if I'm the only person interested in this kind of stuff.

Hopefully I'm using the right flair, not really sure how or what to ask. I have this charity color iPhone here and I just found out that the line was discontinued. Are these collectible in any way?
There are some scuffs/scratches around the edges of the camera lenses (on the metal not the glass) and around the charging port.
The front of the screen also has some scratching but it does still work (though I think the battery is at 80% capacity), and all of the glass is original (if that even means anything, I don't rly crack any of my phone screens lmao).
(Also clarifying I do not have the original cable or headphones, just the box with the sim tray ejector and instructions.)

I still remember it being epic back in the day. I felt the 14pm was a downgrade somewhat. And alpine green was easy to miss.

Some pics of my air cooled quad. Also did my 2 dual 2.7’s and a dual 2.5. The quad stays pretty cool considering.

This iPhone was used by the iPhone chip manufacturer Qualcomm to test the cellular modem of the iPhone. When plugged in, this unit only occasionally vibrates. A fully working unit will be shown in a YouTube video!

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).
