The auction was organized by Wright on his website. The first generation iPhone sold for $40,320. For the same price, you can buy, for example, the Tesla Model 3.
The highest price for a comparable iPhone is $63,000. The smartphone was sold for that amount at an auction earlier this year. Recall that the original iPhone in 2007 cost $ 599 for a model with 8 GB of memory. Thus, the auction price is about 67 times the original one.
