The iPhone was in a working state when it was discovered, running the new iPhone OS 4.0 SDK. The phone, although unmarked on the back, had 80GB of storage, much larger than previous models. Older models have only ever been available in 8, 16 and 32GB flavours since their release.

The mystery iPhone does have a front-facing camera with some new stylish volume toggle and silence buttons. The back of the phone includes all the traditional markings, including “Designed by Apple California” on the back. Apple has an office in Cupertino, California, right next to San Jose.
