An unopened original iPhone on an auction site. And the starting bid is thirty two thousand dollars. People are aiming to sort of like trade these like like Pokemon cards, like they don't really want to open them and use them. They just want to trade them and see what the value turns into someday. But if you're like us and open it because then it doesn't get sold again. And then there are less of them in the world. The value is even higher for the ones that are remaining but lower for the ones I get opened.
A lot happened this week! First, Marques and Andrew discuss the full story behind the original iPhone that Marques won at an auction for $40,000. After that, we try out a new segment that Marques has dubbed "Headlines in a hat" where they (you guessed it) pick out a few headlines from a hat to talk about. They go over everything from the new Polestar 4 to the Spotify redesign and some other quirky topics as well. We round it out with David calling in from Iceland to take part in trivia. This was a fun one!
