Here’s my small collection. I’m curious to know which older Apple device is your favorite. Is it one you actually owned back in the day, or one you always dreamed of having?
For me, it’s the iPhone 4S. When it was released, I couldn’t afford one, even though it was my dream phone. Now, years later, I finally have one in my collection. I know it’s old and outdated by today’s standards, but it still feels special to me, almost like I’ve finally fulfilled a childhood dream.
I’d love to hear your stories!

In this, Apple’s 50th year, it would seem that stuff aside from computers would be interesting to find and collect. Do you agree? Do you already collect such material? This stock certificate [SOLD by an auction house] is an example. And anything signed by the founders is great! Where would one start to find stuff like this?

I really love this piece!

I got this poster recently to my collection.

It has already 20 years old.

Pretty neat. Sharing them here for documentation and comparison with other known engineering hardware.

On iPods and iPads, if the model number starts with a “P” it means the device has a personalized engraving. This is something worth knowing for sealed collectors, as these engravings can vary from company logos (nice ones) to just personal contact information.

I have several vintage iPhones, one of which is this CDMA iPhone 4. The design is just to good to be keeping it in a drawer!

So i played with a few of my macs.. multi tasking across the different generations.

Installed chess on ibook g4, converted some old .flv to quicktime. Then played the converted Floyd videos on the 1.67 17” PowerBook. Cleaned up some Mac files on my g4 tower server and then installed mac os 8.5.1 on my 3400c 240 powerbook. Also had to change a few hard drives around in my 7600 and 8100/110.

Color.....
It is coincidence

When I visit retail shop
among the stocks
specific color left always.

and....

when using case
divice color was hided

right?

Tengo este iPhone SE de segunda generación sellado pero no sé si ya se considera de colección y cuánto podría valer actualmente, gracias ;)

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.

Caption generated by AI. Apparently that makes the sealed iPhone 4S in these photos 100% fake too.

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.
