On 29 june 2007, apple's first generation iphone was officially sold. To date, 16 years have passed. However, who would have thought that mobile phones, which were sold for $499 and 16 years ago, could now be worth millions
At the beginning of this month, according to web data, an iphone 1 from a 16-year-old factory was auctioned at a daily price of $158644 totalling rmb 11. 34 million
It is worth mentioning that, in february this year, a sealed iphone1 plant was auctioned on the internet, but at that time it was worth $63,000, less than half of what is now. This was due to the auction of the 8gb model of iphone1 and the 4gb model of this time. As the 8gb version was more market-friendly as soon as the iphone1 was launched, the iphone1 of the 4gb model ceased production very quickly. To date, the number of unopened 4gb versions of iphone1 is very rare。
In the face of this situation, the netizens are also lamenting. Some netizens said they knew they were going to get one! There are also netizens who say that buying a brand-new mobile phone now is not going to be unsealed. In response, it was immediately replied that mobile phones were useless for as long as they were, because iphone1 was a landmark cell phone。
Looking back, it was hard to buy an iphone. In retrospect, the iphone was used by rich employers when it came to the country, and working people wanted to buy iphone, which they had to save for months to afford. And there was an extreme example of a young man who sold his kidneys to buy an iphone, showing how powerful the iphone was, and how crazy the market was for the iphone。
And it is on this basis that a comment from a friend of the internet has drawn media attention to the fact that “16 years add more than 300 times to the need to remember a time of madness”
How crazy was the iphone
Sixteen years ago, the mobile phone market was an unprecedented shock when it was the scene of a carving machine, a keyboard and an image of an iphone。
All of this stems from the statement made by jobos at the macworld congress in january 2007 that “today, apples will recreate mobile phones”。
In those years, mobile phones actually functioned the same way as the old-age machines do now, with the most access to qq and listening to music, and the pictures were very vague, compared to the billions of mobile pixels that are now available。
The presence of iphone has made it clear that mobile phones can also be viewed with browsers, e-mails and even download apps from mobile shops. At that time, most people used iphone for the purpose of playing games at app store, in addition to being cool. Now again, it's hard to imagine how amazing it was when you played with a small screen, as if the iphone was a treasure。
In retrospect, jobos is dead, but apples are still there and iphone is still there. To date, apple's market value has reached $3 trillion. On 5 october 2011, when jobos passed away, apple's market value was not more than $364. 4 billion, but only one tenth of its current market value. And iphone, now from iphone1 to iphone14。
When i was a kid at love apartments, hu yifi used to take out an iphone18 prop, which was just funny. Now think again, 18 generations of mobile phones have been sold from iphone, like a few years ago。
Time flies, the sun travels. The iphone that belonged to the jobbs era has become history, the iphone of the cook era is happening, and the future is sure that another person who has high hopes will continue。
