A first-generation iPhone prototype with a (very) old version of iOS

Seen on YouTube, a video showcasing a (very) old version of iOS—back when the OS wasn’t even called iOS yet.

Then, a second prototype, which boots into the SkankPhone interface and runs a (very) early version of iBoot, version 87. It uses a gorilla cable to power the device, and instead of booting into iOS or even SwitchBoard, it goes straight into SkankPhone…
