Considering buying an iPhone 5? Maybe you should just settle for a $186,511 piece of cardboard shaped like the gadget.
There’s no display, no camera, no video recording. It doesn’t need wires to function, so it’s wireless, and its battery life will outlast any phone on the market. It’s also biodegradable — score for the greenies. At first glance it seems like a joke, but eBay UK user mrbottlesfriend posted exactly that and it has already garnered 108 bids.
If you read past the description you’ll note they’re doing selling the iFaux for charity.
“All money raised from this auction will go towards a challenge (trekking along the Great Wall of China),” the post reads, “I am undertaking for the Charity Dig Deep which is a UK registered charity that helps communities in Kenya improve access to clean water, sanitation and renewable energy.”
You can also sponsor their trek on Just Giving.
No white phone?
