The device that disrupted the mobile phone industry and then some, Apple's 1st Generation iPhone from 2007 is revered by collectors. The original 4G model is the most valuable.

In 2023, a brand-new, unopened specimen fetched a mind-blowing $190,372 (£142k) at auction, almost 400 times its original price. An unactivated example sold on eBay recently for $5,600 (£4,180), and even used 1st Gen iPhones can be worth big bucks – anything up to $1,700 (£1,270) depending on the condition.
