Usually iPhones plummet in value as soon as you take them out of the shop.

But there are some special cases, as seen at an auction in the US, where a first edition, unopened 4GB model sold for $190,372.80 (£145,416).

Not many of these were made at the time, leading the model to be considered the "Holy Grail" by iPhone collectors.

The lot, run by LCG Auctions, attracted 28 bids in total and sold at nearly 400 times its original price.

EU for the radiation as well. It's just the French who discovered it was exceeding the limits. But even the guy in charge of the ban in France conceded that the limit is still 10x lower than that which scientific studies suggest might cause harm.
