The second USB-C version iPhone in the world, a successful bid for about 340,000 yen.It is much lower than the first generation sold for about 10 million yen

At the end of 2021, the world's first converted iPhone X to be equipped with a USB-C port was exhibited at EBAY, and after a fierce bidding battle, it was dropped off at a price of nearly 10 million yen.

Inspired by GERNOT JEBSTL, he made his own second USB-C version iPhone with a waterproof function, but was awarded for $ 3,000 (about 345,000 yen) at the starting price, and the first generation was large.It was less than to.

Jöbstl has created a "world's first" waterproof "USB-C iPhone."The difference from the original version is that it has been processed that does not enter the iPhone, such as creating custom parts that support the USB-C module firmly.

In addition, Jöbstl has announced the completed USB-C iPhone X on YouTube videos and forecasts that it will continue to be sold on ebay to get the funds to carry out such projects.As mentioned above, the iPhone equipped with the first USB-C sold for $ 86,000, so it is expected that the second installment may be high.

However, the actual result is only one bid.The starting price of $ 3,000 set by Jöbstl has been a successful bid.

Why did you hardly get excited this time?9TO5MAC states that the driving force with nearly 6 digits (in dollar conversion) was, most of all, that it was the world's first USB-C iPhone.Probably, those who bought it for nearly 10 million yen were not for daily use, but for collection.

Jöbstl also claimed the "world's first" for the second use of the USB-C compatible iPhone X, as it was a waterproof specification.However, it seems that it did not receive so in the collector market.Also, because it is the second unit, the charm of the first car may not be recognized, and it may not have been attracted attention.

This modified product cannot be charged quickly, and the data communication is not both directional but only in a single direction.

The theory that Apple plans to migrate the iPhone to USB-C in the future, it is a strong theory that the possibility is low.

Famous Lika (the person who sends out influential information on unreleased products) Jon Prosser and a proven analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, "No USB-C is used and moved to a portless portless without a physical opening."Do".The EU is discussing bills that may require the use of USB-C on the iPhone, but some have pointed out that portless them will escape the regulations.

Rumors that "the iPhone will be Portless this year" has fallen out many times, and it has been out of time.However, if the iPhone 14 Pro (provisional) in 2022 moved to Portless and the USB-C-mounted model did not appear after that, the waterproof USB-C version iPhone X will also have a premium price in the future.Maybe.
