Want to get the first iPhone with a USB-C port? For that, you will have to go to eBay to (attempt to) acquire it.
Remember, last October, a Swiss hacker by the name of Kenny Pi had made a name for itself by replacing the Lightning plug of an iPhone with a USB-C port. At the beginning of November, this student from Lausanne is talking about him again by offering Internet users to buy his now-famous iPhone X.

In a short video posted on his YouTube channel, Ken Pillonel (aka Kenny Pi) indicates that he has auctioned the first iPhone with USB-C on the famous eBay platform.
