An unopened and never-used first-generation Apple iPhone has sold for over €59,000.
The 8GB 2007 model was factory-sealed and still in its original plastic packaging.
The phone was originally sold for €561 when it was released 16 years ago.
LCG Auctions described the device as "One of the most important and ubiquitous inventions of our lifetime, the iPhone was first introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, at MacWorld San Francisco".
"The iconic box featured a life-size image of the iPhone with 12 icons on the screen.
"It quickly became Apple’s most successful product, forever changed the smartphone industry, and was named the Time Magazine Invention of the Year in 2007".
