I Bought An iPhone 4 in 1985 And I’ll Get 52 iPhones Tomorrow

This is interesting. Pretty similar to Kyle Conroy’s “What if I bought Apple stock instead?” table, Finlay Craig is now telling us that if we had spent £499.00 (the price of an iPhone 4 in the UK) worth of Apple, Inc. stock in 1985 we would have got 52 iPhone 4s today.

52 units. All piled on top of each other. Sounds like a plan. Does this work with iPod Nanos today? ‘Cause I wouldn’t mind getting 279 Nanos in 2024.

You know, that’s how stock works. Kind of.
