The $100,000 iPhone

09 JUL 2007
iPhone auction – how much would you pay?

How much would you give to get your hands on an iPhone? A few hundred quid? A grand?

Now add in the fact that it's the first one sold from Apple's Soho store in New York (pictured), was bought by film director, Spike Lee, comes with two Jawbone headsets, a couple of US flights, a specially recorded celeb voicemail message, oh, and you have to collect it from Alicia Keys at the VIP Black Ball honouring music ‘saint’, Bono.

Checking the bank balance already? Well, you're too late. It's already been sold, for $100,000 to 'ccerc' on eBay (and we were about to offer $100,001, damn).

But in case you think it's all consumerism gone mad, don't worry, all the money's going to the charity Keep a Child Alive to fund drugs for kids dying from AIDS in Africa. Not such bad value after all.
