Pope Francis' old iPad has fetched 30,500 dollars at a charity auction in Uruguay, it has been revealed.
The proceedings from the sale will go to a local Uruguayan school for the poor, the Verge reported.
iPad's back inscription reads, "His Holiness Francisco. Servizio Internet Vatican, March 2013" and it also comes with a signed certificate from the Vatican and, a black Logitech keyboard, according to photos published to the Castells auction house website.
Pope Francis has openly embraced technology during his tenure, pointing to the internet as a powerful way to foster dialogue across different faiths.
This isn't the first time that one of Pope Francis' personal belongings has been sold for charitable purposes as a Harley Davidson motorcycle he received as a gift was sold last year in Paris for more than 320,000 dollars, with proceeds going to a soup kitchen in Rome.
