The renaming to Twitter came as a surprise and surprised many users.

Elon Musk, CEO of X, said he wanted a fresh start for the social media platform with the new name and logo.

The old Twitter app is now officially “retired”.

This can make some people pay big bucks to go back to the original app.

An iPhone deal was spotted for a whopping $25,000.

another was Posted to X with someone asking $4200 for their iPhone 14 using the original Twitter app.

While others range from $800 to $15,000.

There have been several listings on eBay since Tuesday, but nothing has sold at a high price yet.

It’s unclear how many people will actually reach for the high-priced phones to get their hands on the original Twitter.

But savvy iPhone owners are willing to risk their luck.

OTHER RARE APPLE ITEMS

Rare Apple items are known to fetch high resale prices, and several items have stood the test of late.

A rare pair of Apple sneakers is selling for $50,000 at Soetheby’s as the specific pair has never been available to the public before.

The shoes feature the colorful old Apple logo and were specially made for employees in the 1990s as part of a one-off conference prize draw.

The sale of Apple sneakers follows a rare, unopened 4GB iPhone that sold at auction for a whopping $190,000.

The first iPhone edition was sold at LCG auctions in mid-July – check it out here.

Few of the specific 4GB iPhone models made it into people’s hands as production stopped just a few months after the release date.

The 4GB iPhone originally sold for $499, while the more standard 8GB iPhone sold for $599 at the time, Neowin reported.

Apple decided to keep the 8GB version on the market only shortly after the release of both releases.
