How big of an Apple fan are you?
If you’re someone who has been following Apple’s incremental progress in inventing and perfecting the iPhone over the years, then you might appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that Apple has paid in engineering and manufacturing these devices.
Someone of this caliber would likely also appreciate fine art dedicated to such attention to detail, and the Collectible Phones store, owned and operated by longtime Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, might have something you want.
The Collectible Phones store offers vintage iPhones, beautifully framed in curio-style displays and in a detailed exploded view that showcases the importance of each individual part of the device. These can be proudly mounted on your wall, showing off your appreciation for Apple’s engineering prowess.
While Collectible Phones certainly isn’t the first service to offer framed vintage devices in an exploded view, the quality of the frame is what sets it apart.
The framed iPhone (1st Generation), for example, can be had for $349.00 with free shipping and illustrates a fully disassembled handset in a black or silver frame crafted from aluminum alloy and measuring 30 x 42.3 centimeters, or 11.8 x 16.7 inches.
Internal iPhone components like the vibrator motor, battery, logic board, loudspeaker, microphone, 30-pin charging connector, screen, and more, are all carefully placed in the frame with detailed specifications. The battery, however, is a replica and not a functional battery (for safety reasons).
Or, perhaps instead of a framed display, you’d prefer a functional vintage device in like-new condition? Collectible Phones has those too. Currently, the store offers the iPhone 2G in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB variations for $149.00, and they’re fully functional.
While these vintage devices are in excellent like-new condition, they are lightly used and therefore may exhibit signs of wear or age. These devices also ship worldwide, free of charge.
We expect that the store will continue to populate with more options as it matures, so if this is something that interests you, then it might warrant taking a look at.
Those interested can head over to the Collectible Phones store to see more. Dickson was also kind enough to make a special coupon code iDB10 to save our readers 10% off any order at the website.
