Do you have one at the back of the cupboard you could make a few bob off?

The first generation iPhone in its original box has sold for a whopping $35, 414 (€35, 536) at auction.

The phone which a lot of us have has come a long way since when it first launched.

And without the first generation iPhone, Apple would not have kicked off as it did.

"iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone," the late Steve Jobs said as he unveiled the iPhone at the keynote in 2007.

This particular device was auctioned off at RR Auction, which ended on 18 August.

Despite the fact that smartphones have advanced so much in recent years, the rarity of the iPhone combined with the mint condition is what's given the device such a mega value.

The product description reads: "Unopened first generation original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Order MA712LL/A (8GB).

The first iPhone comes in at 115 x 61 x 11.6 mm (4.53 x 2.40 x 0.46 in) in size and just 135 g (4.76 oz) in weight.

The display is a mere 3.5 inches and the main, single camera is just 2mp.
