Ebay Auction for a Rare iPhone Prototype Crosses $32,000

Update: Information technology looks like the auction page has been taken down. Apple has previously taken down eBay auctions of iPhone prototypes simply it's unclear if that's the case hither likewise.

An eBay sale for what is claimed to exist a rare prototype of the original iPhone, is garnering a lot of interest from users. People are bidding on the prototype like crazy and the auction has (at the fourth dimension of this writing) crossed over $32,000 within a day of going alive.

The pictures in the auction evidence off an iPhone with a back that reads things similar version i.1.1 — which co-ordinate to the seller is a prototype iPhone built in Cupertino in 2006. The device has a different bombardment pack than what you'll detect in the release version of the original iPhone, and it'south slightly heavier too, at 144 grams.

Whether or non the paradigm is real is anyone's guess, but it sure looks like it could exist the real thing. Apparently a bunch of people think so too, since they're behest in the tens of thousands to get their hands on the coveted piece of Apple history.

The description of the production on eBay mentions that the telephone runs OS X and Earthbound, which rings somewhat close to Steve Jobs proclamation regarding the iPhone where he said the device will run Os Ten (even though the actual release unit did not). It also states that the device has a number of differences from regular release iPhones including the fact that there's a 'bell' icon on the mute button, different internals including the WiFi radios, and that it was fabricated in Cupertino unlike mass produced iPhones that are assembled in China.
