The most expensive iPhone ever released was the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB of storage, priced at $1,599.
This model was released in September 2022 and features a large 6.7-inch display, a powerful A16 Bionic chip, and a triple-camera system with a 48MP main sensor. The high storage capacity allows users to store a vast amount of data, including photos, videos, apps, and games.
While the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB of storage holds the title of the most expensive standard iPhone model, other limited-edition iPhones have fetched even higher prices in the secondary market. For example, the solid gold iPhone 3GS, created by Stuart Hughes, was sold for $3.2 million in 2010.
However, it's important to distinguish between the official retail price set by Apple and the resale value of rare or customized iPhones. The iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB of storage remains the most expensive model sold directly by Apple.
