Original iPhone Unboxing! 11 Years Old Today

this is a day i've been looking forward to for two and a half years an ipod a phone are you getting it 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 to 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 five ten years i think it could rise to 20 30 40 50 000 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 it's 11th year anniversary today why the heck not um so here it is guys i've got this really beautiful packaging this is the original bag that it was uh purchased in as well and um 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 8 and 16 gigabyte models and um yeah this is an 8 gigabyte so not super rare but the fact that it's pre itunes is very rare um 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 unboxed yesterday had very clean ceiling 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 it's never been activated i hope that that stands true and it's never been opened never been resealed but beneath the plastic it looks very good no scuffage my original version where i got scammed with the 5300 one you know was clearly fake beneath the plastic there were scratches and uh 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 so i got interested you know towards the last few minutes it ballooned in price and it went from like the mid thousands quickly to 3 300 350 that's how much i got it for and that is unbelievable these things go for up to 20 000 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 going to 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 600 and 720 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 display is 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 all right and here we go i'm gonna flip this over and uh make a very delicate incision here i literally i'm 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 want originally sealed iphone and you know the thing that makes this this expensive you know and what makes it worth it is that it was steve jobs first phone you know it started at 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 going to appreciate oh this even feels different it's got a old style crinkle to it okay fingers crossed that i didn't get scammed here oh that opens very easy suspiciously easy and you guessed it this is a reseal wow um that's funny i was so excited about this too so i paid 3 350 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 uh 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 it in your collection and they're gonna get away with their scam well not you scammer not you so i'm so butt hurt 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 um 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 ones 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 why do people do this okay let's see just for the heck of it what version this is on um and by the way let's see if it even matches the box so this is serial code 857 this one is seven r7 so somehow they got a box of an unactivated 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 up the phones inside all right 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 um i'm gonna charge this up and be right back just just for the kicks of it let's see what it's running seriously screw people that do this i basically uh my case against them is that all of the packaging is clearly been tampered with it's old there's dirt in the speaker ports i mean very very clearly it's it's been repackaged so i'm hoping that ebay sides with me on this which they should last time they did um i'm so angry seriously screw the trouble i have to go through and if they even scammed successfully other people screwed them for that too by the way tnt'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 gonna be possible here oh okay cool so 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 all right so at the dud that was that was an experience definitely to pay so much money for something and get ripped off pretty great all right so that one was a fake but i still wanted to wrap this video up it is still a special day with um 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 through several processes to ios 1.0 or it was even called something different it was iphone os 1.0 back then and uh 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 um it's just it was such a different experience there was no spotlight search and um let's jump in here just to show you i'm on 1.0 oh wow and this used to have a usage oh yeah a separate tab for usage i didn't know that that's kind of cool um 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 11 11.4 or 11.3.1 and look at that how cool is that there's that tribute case so 11 years guys this thing started 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 going to get to our phones are all screen it's just going to 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 will 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 33.70 for the first iphone ever made sealed is ridiculously cheap so next time i'll do better i'll pay more possibly even up to 10 grand just to have it be legitimate oh i'm so butthurt 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 lived at least a little bit nostalgia if you own one of these back in the day and please do leave me some stories about you know 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 yeah don't have pity on me i'm more than positive i'll get my money back but thanks anyways all right peace
