For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a 128GB iPhone 16 Pro from Apple. For those unfamiliar with GRID Studio, it is a company that recycles discarded Apple products into art that celebrates Apple's history.

GRID Studio is having a special spring sale on some of its most popular products this week, plus there is a 15 percent off site wide discount available with the promo code SS15. As part of the sale, the GRID iPhone 2G, which features Apple's most iconic iPhone, is available for $299.

The iPhone 2G is also known as the original iPhone, and it was the first iPhone that Apple made back in 2007. GRID's iPhone 2G piece features all of the device's internal components, labeled and artfully arrayed. The iconic original ‌‌iPhone‌‌ casing is positioned next to the power button, headphone socket, speaker, logic board, ear piece, and other components, and this is before the days where Apple started making its own chips so there are some unique components to see.

The GRID iPhone 3GS is half off and just $99. The ‌iPhone‌ 3GS followed the ‌iPhone‌ 3G, and that "S" was meant to represent speed. It had a processor that was twice as fast as the prior model, and it was Apple's first foray into really focusing on blazing fast performance. The GRID 3GS features the classic pre-iPhone 4 design, and it looks great framed and on the wall.

You can also get the GRID 4S for $99, and it features approximately 40 internal components from the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 4S was actually the last iPhone that was introduced in Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' lifetime, and it was the first Apple iPhone that Tim Cook introduced on stage without Jobs. The "S" stood for Siri, and it was the first iPhone with Apple's personal assistant.

GRID Studio offers plenty of other iPhones, too, plus iPads. If you have a favorite ‌iPhone‌ generation, it's likely that GRID has taken it apart. With each art piece, GRID separates out each of the components and provides labels for the parts.

I know I'm in the minority but it breaks my heart that these devices are being disassembled for display purposes. I know old phones don't really have much of a use if the supporting network structure has been taken down and app support is gone. But other devices like Game Boy's and such do have an extended lifespan - especially if they just need to be repaired.
 
Going by the header and the according photo you can win a frame with the iPhone 16 Pro in parts? :oops:

These are pretty cool

But if you have some old tech and know how you can make you’re own

And on that, that’s me out of here.

Not planning to buy any more Apple stuff for a long long time

I agree. Totally get the Game Boy thing since there might actually be a market for them. Most electronics - not so much. Most people don't have the engineering know-how to repurpose the remaining usable components in a meaningful utilitarian way. So, might as well make art, and put a pin in is eventual trip to the landfill.

Woah! I don't know how keen I am about them including the battery in the frame.
