How much is the first iPhone worth?

Leo Elliot Apr 01

Hey folks, Leo here. I'm a tech enthusiast and gadget collector in Australia.

Quick one for you all: how much is the first iPhone worth these days? I’ve been eyeing a vintage model and curious if it’s more of a collector’s piece or just a cool bit of tech history.

Hey Leo! The first iPhone can fetch anywhere from $500 to over $50,000 AUD—sealed and unused ones are collector gold! Definitely a tech treasure now. 📱💎

@mrghost Wow, 50K for a sealed one? That's incredible! Kinda makes me wish I'd kept mine boxed up back in 2007.

Out of curiosity, what kind of value do you reckon other first-gen Apple gear holds in Australia? For instance, the original iPods or iPad? Always wondered if they've got collector potential, too.

Kind of random, but why did blackberry actually fail?

I know iPhone changed things but that doesn't feel like the whole story. Blackberry had time money and a solid user base. Was it just a case of not adapting fast enough or were there deeper issues under the hood?Not trying to roast them, just genuinely curious. What do you think actually tipped it over the edge?

If lab-grown meat Isn’t vegan then what’s the point?

Okay, I've got a legit question I can't stop thinking about. What exactly is lab-grown meat and why are we producing it if it's not even vegan or plant-based? From what I understand, it's real animal meat, but grown from cells in a lab instead of coming from an actual animal. So it's not fake meat like Beyond or Impossible, but it's also not cruelty-free...

Wait… does IBM even make computers anymore, or did they just vanish into corporate ghost mode? 👻💻

Had one of those random shower thoughts, when’s the last time anyone actually saw an IBM-branded computer? Like… has it been a decade? More? 😅 Then you check their LinkedIn and they’re out here flexing like they still run the tech game. Sooo… what do they actually do now?Yeah, I know they sold off the ThinkPad stuff to Lenovo forever ago and dumped a bunch...

Only 200k Vision Pros sold? Has this been a hit or a flop for Apple?

This seems like a great forum to meet like-minded Apple enthusiasts like me. I do like other tech topics but for the first one, I think I'd like to know everyone's thoughts around the Vision Pro. It's been such an exciting release although I knew the $3500 price tag will get in my way. But it seems like it's got in everyone's way or what?...
