We have a first generation iPhone in our collection.
It was Apple Inc's first smartphone, and it was released in 2007. It became enormously successful.
Previous smartphones such as Blackberrys had been focussed on the business community, but this smartphone appealed to the wider public.
Instead of stylus or keyboard, it had a touchscreen interface. In July 2023, an unopened, first edition model of the 2007 iPhone was sold at auction for $190,372.80, which was nearly 400 times the original price.
