Title: iPhone X With USB-C Port Sells For $86,001 on eBay Post by: HCK on November 15, 2021, 04:05:08 pm iPhone X With USB-C Port Sells For $86,001 on eBay
Last week, an iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) X modified with a USB-C port was listed on eBay (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/04/usb-c-iphone-ebay-auction/) as "the world's first USB-C iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/01/iphone-x-modded-usb-c-port/)," and now, a few days after intense bidding, the USB-C ‌iPhone‌ has been sold for $86,001 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/165161363347?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5336804442&toolid=10001&customid=73726X1523000Xaab97069cf2e94f664ed78c3cfca821a). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/11/iphone-with-usb-c-port.jpg) The ‌iPhone‌ was modified by Ken Pillonel, a robotics student who shared a video explaining how he did it. Since the video was posted on November 1 (https://youtu.be/FVEQJNRmfDQ), it's garnered over 600,000 views and has been widely discussed across social media. The eBay listing, which lasted 10 days, had a total of 116 bids and 6 bid retractions. One bid earlier in the week topped $99,000. From the iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) to the Mac, Apple utilizes USB-C ports for charging, data, and more. The company has relentlessly stuck to using its proprietary Lightning connector on the ‌iPhone‌, and reports suggest (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/03/02/iphone-keeping-lightning-no-usb-c/) that it won't be changing anytime soon. The ‌iPhone‌ X is a 64GB model, and the winning bidder will be receiving the ‌iPhone‌ X in its original box but without any accessories. As a bonus, the winner will also get a 30-minute phone call with Pillonel should they have any questions about how the world's first USB-C ‌iPhone‌ was born.
