iPhone 4 Unboxing! 8 Years Old Now

Original iPhone Unboxing! 11 Years Old Today #Helpful Post

this is a day I've been looking forward

to for two and a half years an iPod a

phone these are not three separate

devices this is one device and we are

calling it iPhone today

today Apple is going to reinvent the

phone

today marks 11 years since the original

iPhone was released believe me guys

I honestly at the very last moment I

wanted it back out I didn't want to do

this I did not want to unbox the first

iPhone for several reasons one it is

ridiculously expensive and it is a

potential future investment within the

next 5-10 years I think it could rise to

20 30 40 50 thousand dollars even in

this condition so in this video despite

it all I will be unboxing the original

iPhone the first one ever made a very

rare version of it too for that matter

just because I've never done it it's its

11th year anniversary today why the heck

not so here it is guys I've got this

really beautiful packaging this is the

original bag that it was purchased in as

well and here it is so if you guys don't

know about these the earliest versions

did not have the iTunes logo on the box

and for whatever reason it was on the

right side of the phone I mean the icons

didn't even work that way so kind of

strange but this is a very early version

and let's go ahead and pick it up out of

here

the absolute rarest version of this

phone is a four gigabyte model Apple

made those briefly for you know like a

few months and then they discontinued

them in favor of the eight and 16

gigabyte models and yeah this is an 8

gigabyte so not super rare but the fact

that it's pre iTunes is very rare I am

honestly kind of worried about this

packaging so it looks a bit rough I

personally don't know how the early

models were with this were they very

smooth because I know the iPhone 4 that

I unbox yesterday had very clean sealing

lines this one does not but I will tell

you the reason I believe this to be

legitimate is the serial code on the

back on Apple's website says it's never

been activated so this website basically

says activate the original iPhone and

that's the evidence that's it's never

been activated

I hope that that stands true and it's

never been open never been resealed

but beneath the plastic it looks very

good no scuff egde my original version

where I got scammed with the $5,300 one

you know was clearly fake beneath the

plastic there were scratches and I'm

very much hoping this is legitimate so

you may be wondering how much did I buy

this for and how much is it worth I got

a steal of a deal on this I actually bid

it up on auction and the actual video I

recorded it it was pretty low somewhat I

got interested you know towards the last

few minutes it ballooned in price and

away from like the mid thousands quickly

to three thousand three hundred dollars

33:15 that's how much I got it for and

that is unbelievable these things go for

up to twenty thousand dollars I've seen

them go for more even and depending on

what model it is if it's a four gigabyte

model those are worth way more just

because of how early they are I'm so

nervous I'm just gonna be honest I'm

nervous I never had the opportunity to

even I was too young it was very

expensive at the time it was $500 for

the four gigabyte model and 600 for the

eights and respectively that's about six

hundred and seven hundred twenty dollars

in today's dollars which is very

expensive but for what it got the

revolutionary product it was a steal of

a deal people were camping outside you

know this thing brought so many

revolutions to the world of smartphones

and Apple's actual tagline was Apple

reinvents the phone and this is only the

beginning

you know actually going back to look at

the website it's kind of funny too such

an old style 11 years ago it seems like

a very long time but that time just flew

by remember first time I heard about

this thing on the bus you know I

couldn't imagine a smartphone that you

can touch with several fingers at once

at the time the displays sucked but okay

okay let's i'm just delaying the

inevitable let's go ahead and open this

i'm gonna get the knife alright and here

we go i'm gonna flip this over and make

a very delicate incision here I

literally I'm losing almost all value on

this thing it's still gonna be worth a

good amount a matching box and phone

inside after I open it but most of the

value disappears you know people why

originally sealed iPhone and you know

the thing that makes this this expand

you know and what makes it worth it is

that it was Steve Jobs his first phone

you know it started a revolution in

smartphones and of course being the

first one and being so old that adds

value to it as well so you know you

could say that it's almost worth that

money if you hold it in a museum or

collection it's only gonna appreciate

this even feels different it's got a

old-style crinkle to it okay fingers

crossed that I didn't get scammed here

with that opens very easy suspiciously

easy and you guessed it this is a reseal

Wow that's funny I was so excited about

this too so I paid three thousand three

hundred fifty dollars for an iPhone

that's been resealed very clearly once

again I get scammed I knew this was too

good to be true so the good news with

this one is is it was pretty recent so I

should be able to get in contact with

eBay and get my money back hopefully in

the back of my mind I honestly kind of

thought that it would be resealed it's

too good to be true that price I feel so

dumb right now man why why can't I get

an original real one I mean the whole

premise is people don't believe you'll

go and open the phone they think that

you'll just put in your collection and

they're gonna get away with their scam

well not you scammer and not you so I'm

so buttered right now one day one day

I'll finally open one real one or order

one inside no plastic on the iPhone dock

I mean without question that is resealed

yeah I'm glad I opened it now like if I

just held on to this waiting for it to

appreciate that would have been bad way

worse in the future oh cool this one at

least comes with the little microfiber

towel that originally came with it

and original Apple stickers those are

the older-style was cool why do people

do this quick buck I'm literally you

know right after this video I'm gonna go

and start claim on eBay on why do people

do this okay

let's see just for the heck of it well

version this is on and by the way let's

see if it even matches the box so this

is serial code eight five seven this one

is seven are seven so somehow they got a

box of an unaccented one with the

original itunes logo missing or is this

a recreation it looks very original and

I've seen many of these this looks quite

original so they just switched out the

phones inside alright you must think I'm

an idiot at this point and I would have

to agree

I mean I'm just trying to do something

that I've never done before and people

keep tripping me up seriously I'm gonna

charge this up and be right back just

just for the kicks of it let's see what

it's running as seriously screw people

that do this I basically my case against

them is that all of the packaging is

clearly been tampered with it's old

there's dirt in speaker ports I mean

very very clearly it's it's been

repackaged so I'm hoping that you base

size with me on this which they should

last time they did I'm so angry

seriously screw the trouble I have to go

through and if they even scam

successfully other people screw them for

that too

by the way T's network is down for the

iPhone so I've heard that there's

trouble with even activating it we'll

see if that's going to be possible here

oh okay cool so I just activated before

there was any long menu to go through oh

yeah this is on iOS 3.1.3 because you

weren't oh you weren't able to move

icons way back then so yeah 3.1.3 if

this was new with that packaging without

the itunes logo it would not have any of

that alright so that's a dud that was

that was an experience definitely pay so

much money for something and get ripped

off pretty great

alright so that one was a fake but

I still want to wrap this video up it is

still a special day with just some

highlights of the iPhone from back in

the day and I want to compare it to the

original iPhone here so this is the

original iPhone on its iOS 1.0 firmware

as you guys know I did this video a

while ago downgraded it's through

several processes to iowa's 1.0 where it

was even called something different it

was iPhone OS 1.0 back then and you

could not swipe through pages you could

not hold icons to wiggle them you

couldn't cut copy or paste there was so

much missing here but you still had

YouTube you can connect to Wi-Fi it's

just it was such a different experience

there's no spotlight search and let's

jump in here just to show you I'm on 1.0

oh wow and this used to have a usage oh

we have a separate tab for usage I

didn't know that that's kind of cool

about iPhone OS 1.0 how crazy is that

only certain iPhones that actually

released with iOS or iPhone OS 1 are

able to be downgraded so you can't just

downgrade any original iPhone but it's

pretty cool the fact that that's even

possible everything was so simple you

had almost no settings in here kind of

crazy on the other hand here we have iOS

eleven eleven point four or eleven point

three point one look at that how cool is

that there's that tribute case so 11

years guys this thing started a

revolution Apple's tagline for this

iPhone was super correct this is only

the beginning and 11 years later it

really was only the beginning where

we've come eventually we're gonna get to

our phones are all screen it's just

gonna be ridiculous how much how much

technology Apple has pushed onto the

markets and adopted from other

manufacturers it's it's so great to see

that evolution so there it is guys

unfortunately you had to watch me get

scammed again I would keep trying I

won't let this discourage me I actually

want to open up one of these and have it

be a genuine experience I will do

whatever it takes leave as many negative

feedbacks on eBay before I finally get

my hands on one and yeah I should have

known it was too cheap three thousand

dollars 3374 the first iPhone ever made

sealed is ridiculously cheap so next

time I'll do better I'll pay more

possibly even up to ten grand just to

have it be

chitta meds oh I'm so butter but

whatever you live and you learn and you

repeat your mistakes sometimes but okay

thanks for watching guys that is the 11

year anniversary for the original iPhone

hopefully you relived at least a little

bit nostalgic if you own one of these

back in the day and please do leave me

some stories about you know that maybe

the first time you used one of these

where you heard about it first

I really enjoyed them on the last video

I like that kind of stuff so leave those

comments down below in the description

otherwise ya don't have pity on me I'm

more than positive all I'll get my money

back but thanks anyways alright peace
