Someone selling what they called the “world’s ‘first waterproof USB-C iPhone X<\/a>” has seen an eBay auction for the device end with a winning bid of just $3,000<\/a>. That’s considerably less than the $86,000 a non-waterproof version<\/a> sold for not too long ago.<\/p>\n

The sale, which seems to have been to the one and only bidder<\/a>, will no doubt be a disappointment to the iPhone’s creator. It appears that demand was considerably lower than the iPhone that came before it, despite this being the first iPhone X to include not only USB-C but a claim of being waterproof to boot.<\/p>\n

The Usb-C port is used to charge the phone and transfer data between the phone and computer. This modified Usb-C port works unidirectional instead of bidirectional. There are different Usb-C standards. I guarantee functionality only with the supplied cable and charger. The Usb-C to Lightning chip does not support fast charging, so high-powered chargers should not be used.<\/p>\n

The phone is IPX7 waterproof like the original iPhone X. This means protection against ingress of water by total submersion for a limited time (1 meter deep for 30 minutes). I do not recommend exposing the phone to these circumstances more often! The water protection is only intended to be able to clean the mobile phone regularly with water.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While it might have sold for $80,000 less than hoped, $3,000 will still give the seller plenty of money to bag themselves a shiny new iPhone 14<\/a> later this year, at least.<\/p>\n
