Did you know Investing In Apple Shares Instead Of Purchasing The Latest iPhone Will Leave You With Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models by Apple have been released and it’s the tech news that fans from all over the world were waiting for.
All
eyes were on the launch event by one of the world’s most successful
firms and things went down as planned. People were mesmerized by the
product on display and simply couldn’t wait to get their hands on it.
The price
tag was huge but the investment that many were making was worth it, in
their opinion. Did we mention how it’s bigger and better in so many
ways?
From major camera upgrades to a body built from titanium,
not to mention an innovative action button too- the product is blowing
people’s minds. And the latest on this front is that it sold out without
delay.
But have you ever wondered what would happen or where
you’d be if you ended up purchasing the new iPhone each time the company
made it a point to unveil another one, instead of actually thinking
outside the box and investing in the leading firm’s shares?
We’re not being hypothetical here and the news is raving online after one tweet
went on to mention how purchasing shares in Apple for the amount you
spent on the iPhone, could have resulted in millions of dollars. But
wait, it’s not exactly true and we see the math here being a little off,
as recalculated TechCrunch.
If
you actually end up doing the calculations correctly, the most you’d
have is around $1.5 million. Again, not bad being a millionaire. But
that’s only if you had done that since the year 2007 and were smart
enough to look up prices when Apple was rolling out phones from the
start.
Experts actually have found a better way of calculating
this. And what it would be like to purchase the best iPhone at every
company launch event and compare it with the same value of stock
invested.
Once you did that, you would have used close to $16k
on Apple’s devices across the years. And then investing in the stocks
for the company would leave you with many more gains instead of losses.
Think along the lines of $147k so here, you’re profiting by a huge
figure of nearly $131k.
