Dang, I'm still a macrumors newbie over 2 years later....

I'll check in when I turn into an adult and see if it updates my status... lmao....

Hey all! Well since I jumped on the bandwagon a lil' late as far as collecting iphones it's nice to
see some of your pieces you guys collect. I only have around 6 iphones that are new factory sealed
that I'm holding onto, but none that are prototypes or demo models.. just straight consumer releases.
Eh, you all know what it is... a fun hobby.

Oh, and to that guy that was up in here a couple years back blabbin' about why we collect stuff
such as this... it's called A HOBBY !!! And I know for me it's a great one just because it helps keep
me out of trouble, which I'm usually so good at getting myself into.. mainly because I have a mouth
and know how to put folks in their place when needed. But anyhoo, back on the topic.

I collect ipods because it's fun and enjoyable. They are conversation pieces, which is exactly what
we do in here... conversate about the pieces we collect. It isn't about the money to me or what
they're going to be worth in the future... hell I might not make it... could die tomorrow.. then I guess
someone else will make some good money off of the ipods/iphones I currently own.

On task to have one of each variation of iPhone with a box and dock.

I'm not much for software, matching boxes, rare models, all variations of colour - just want 1 of each version. Most have cost about $50 secondhand each so far. :)
 
I have

Gen2 iPhone
3GS
4- sold
4S
5- sold
5S
6- sold
6S plus
7 plus- sold
7S plus.. I mean 8 plus on the way lol
 
I've shared some of it in the iPod Collectors forum as well, but I'm collecting iPhones along with iPods. Since they're often more expensive I don't have as many. I have them complete up until iPhone 6 and 6+, then there's A LOT missing. This is what I have in the collection, all functioning without visible damage:

iPhone 2G
iPhone 3G Black and White
iPhone 3GS Black and White
iPhone 4 Black and White
iPhone 4S Black and White
iPhone 5 Black and Silver
iPhone 5S Black, Silver and Gold
iPhone 5C White, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red
iPhone 6 Space Grey, Silver and Gold
iPhone 6 Plus Space Grey, Silver and Gold

iPhone 6S Space Grey, Silver, Rose Gold
iPhone 6S Plus Space Grey, Silver, Gold
iPhone SE Space Grey, Silver, Gold, Rose Gold
iPhone 7 Silver, Black, Red, Jet Black, Gold
iPhone 7 Plus Black, Rose Gold
iPhone XS Max White

and then there's a bunch of iPhones still in use by the family that I don't consider part of the collection yet, since they might still break...

In the pictures the Silver iPhone 7 and the Gold 6S plus are missing since they were charging when I took the pics.

I used to have loads more, but sold most of my older stuff on eBay.

Now I’ve just got my 14 Pro and a collection of original SE’s. One being a recently opened factory fresh white/ silver 128GB.
My others are a 16GB Space grey and a 32GB in white/ silver, both of which are mint. I think I’ll always have an SE as it’s still my favourite ever iPhone.
