Apple users are well known for their sense of history. Obsolete Apple gear often sells for decent money, especially if it’s rare. An Apple-1, the very first Apple computer, sold for $677,196 (£539,055) in 2022 and a 2007 first-generation iPhone sold for $190,372.80 (£145,416) last year; 300 times its original price. Can you imagine old Windows PCs or Sony Walkmans ever becoming that collectable?
But if Apple collectors love their computing history, the Cupertino-based company doesn’t seem to share their enthusiasm.
