A first-generation 2007 iPhone sold for more than $63,000 in an online auction Sunday.
That's more than a hundred times its original cost of $599.
The box had never been opened.
The original iPhone offered early Apple adopters a 3.5-inch screen with a two-megapixel camera, plus four or eight gigabyte storage options.
It also offered internet capabilities and iTunes.
It had no app store, ran on a 2G network and was exclusive to ATT's network.
Bidding on this phone started earlier this month at $2,500.
