The iPhone in question was owned by Karen Green who received it as a gift for opening her business. The iPhone was originally released exclusively with AT&T, so Karen, who wanted to keep her Verizon number, didn’t use it, and it’s probably one of the best decisions she’s made in her life.

When Green heard about the increase in the prices of the first iPhones closed in their original packaging, she could not remain indifferent and reached the shelf in her house and discovered that the device was indeed closed in its original packaging. In 2019, Green participated in the program Doctor & the Diva, in which Green was given a valuation of the device, which was approximately $5,000. This amount is not surprising considering the rise of Apple since it released the first iPhones, for example, if Karen had invested about $1,000 in Apple shares in 2007, those shares would be worth about $53,000 today.
