They also considered basing it on Linux, which is what Android is built around.
The iPhone started with 2 births. One was the iPod team that began by building up the iPod-OS. The other was another group that was tearing down the Mac-OS.
The OS X team ended up winning out.
Oddly enough, today's iOS 7 seems to take styling cues from that demo software.
I think I would have asked for more than just $1500 if I was selling it and it was legitimate. In a few decades, I imagine this will be worth $10K+.

If its confirmed to be an original, this thing is gonna be sold for $500.000 in 30 years, and some seller from ebay who got $1500 in 2013 will put himself out of his misery.
Yeah. The person who has the phone and can prove so probably by bill of sale or what not is the legal owner. Nothing too complex about that. Just a phone.

It's not, its loosely based on UNIX.

Specifically BSD (Berkeley)... Whereas IIRC most Linux distros (aside from BSD, obviously) are derived from the AT&T branch of the family tree...

seriously? Are you one of those guys that has owned every mac or apple device, including Pippin, since 1973 (or was it '68...I can't remember now), but are now moving to android because apple doesn't innovate any more? That shtick is getting a bit old. WTF would they use Linux when they already have the best kernel and scalability?

An alleged prototype version of Apple's original iPhone has sold on eBay for $1499, with the device appearing to be in excellent condition and containing signal strength measurements etched on the rear casing. The device is also shown running Apple's internal diagnostic software.The authenticity of the device has not been confirmed, and similar signal strength etchings do not appear to have been seen on other prototypes, but the device does lack the standard regulatory text on the rear casing that would be present on a non-prototype unit. A reddit user claims to be the buyer of the device, but it has not yet been delivered to allow for further testing of its authenticity.
It is not unusual for prototype Apple devices to appear on eBay, and many of these auctions are quickly removed, presumably at Apple's request. This auction was able to be completed, perhaps due to having been posted for only two days and having ended through a "Buy It Now" purchase well ahead of the scheduled ending time.
