eBay seller kimberlyk1018 is auctioning an iPhone 6 model that appears to be a prototype device. The auction for the phone was posted last week and has more than US$94,000 in bids from 36 bidders.
According to the auction description, the seller claims to have received the prototype iPhone 6 instead of a consumer model from Verizon Wireless. The prototype is a 64 GB iPhone 6 model and contains a pre-installed suite of testing and developer apps that are similar to previously leaked prototypes.
Apple does NOT let these phones out of their possession yet I was accidentally sent one upon renewing my contract. As you can see from the photos, iOS 8 has not been placed on this device, rather it is in the true developer mode. There are no FCC markings on the rear of the device or a model number. This is the real deal!!!
The auction still has three days left to accept bids, but it may not be allowed to finish if Apple decides to put a halt on the auction as it has done in the past.
