Expensive telephone



Apple iPhone from 2007 sells for more than £145,000 at auction in US

Described by LCG Auctions as "one of the most important and ubiquitous inventions of our lifetime", the auction of the "exceedingly rare" factory-sealed 4GB model was originally expected to raise up to around £75,000.

Its final sale price was $190,372.80 (£145,531.44) with the device attracting 28 bids.


I suppose the buyer isn't likely to be mugged for it once the would-be mugger sees it's just a really old phone from the digital dark ages. Like being casually mugged for a Tracy Emin drawing - it seems unlikely.

    Everyone who buys a Tracy Emin drawing - unless for speculative investment - has already been casually mugged.

    Sam - and the investment would be very speculative indeed from the few drawings I've seen.
