Brand New $41 iPhone 3GS Units to Be Sold in South Korea 9 Years After Launch

Jun. 15, 2018

According to South Korean news outletETNews, the carrier recently stumbled across an unsold lot of sealed and unused 3GS units lying in a warehouse near Seoul, and is now planning to offer them for sale with all the original accessories for 44,000 won (around $41) apiece. The company, however, is planning to open all the packages to test the devices before putting them on the market, just to make sure the almost decade-old devices function as expected.Image Courtesy: ETNews

The 3GS comes with a 3.5mm audio port, but you’ll still have to use an old-school 30-pin connector for charging and data-syncing. It also supports micro-SIMs rather than the smaller nano-SIMs found in later iPhone models. It’s not immediately clear whatApplethinks about the development or what kind of warranty the devices will receive (if any), but it’s certainly bringing a lot of attention to SK Telelink, which is perhaps exactly what the carrier wanted.
