iPhone is undoubtedly one of the most popular smartphones across the globe. When Apple founder Steve Jobs unveiled the first ever iPhone back in 2007, he revolutionised the smartphone industry as we know it. Bringing several firsts in a device like that, the first-ever iPhone was way ahead of its time. The original iPhone was launched in two storage variants – 4GB and 8GB. The 8GB iPhone turned out to be way more popular, so Apple decided to discontinue the 4GB model after a few months to launch a new one with 16GB capacity. One such rare iPhone 4GB is now up for auction.
