Topic: How much Bitcoin is needed to buy iPhone 15? - page 3. (Read 655 times)

If there's someone do able to know on whats Bitcoins future then to those times where Iphone 4s is the new model then i would definitely be skipping out and buying that 162 Bitcoins instead but we know that no one had anticipated on how far it did shoot up its price in the future and  this is why its normal that people would really be having impressions in regarding about accumulation of coins.Same goes with the present on which the value or numbers might be less but it would really be might be ending up on having those things that happened in the past. Its not really that bad to have the same views or perspective when it comes to this
but of course the accumulation would really be entirely be depending on how much you could really be able to invest on since not all does have the money on doing so.

Investment would really be just in second in priority into those people who doesnt have it or doesnt mind for now because they are still that relying into others but on the time that you would really be standing alone
then you would really be able to find the relevance of investment on which it is really that something that you do need to focus on. Now in the choice whether you should accumulate Bitcoin or not
then its impossible that you cant see those numbers above.

This was the news know by most of us,the bitcoin and pizza story.If any of us hold pizza worth of bitcoin,now over life will be luxurious one.No one know the potential of bitcoin at that time,So if you suggest again to buy a iPhone with the most valuable bitcoin.Then you may feel in the future for the big loss.If you had money for the investment use the bitcoin as an asset to inverse your money.Holding the bitcoin will be the better option for your future.Even you can hold your savings for your children in term of bitcoin.

That has nothing to do with buying the newest iPhone, it's about mentality: those people may not buy the last iPhone but probably will spend the same amount of money for a bag or sunglasses or a fancy dinner. If you are used to invest (not necessarily in bitcoin/crypto, even stock market or real estate) you won't spend that money because you know that it's way better to save it and invest it.

At the same time if you buy an iPhone (or other Apple products) from time to time, that could be seen as a great "investment" because they last for a very long time. Right now I'm writing from a 2014 MacBook Pro that I bought used back in 2016 and it still works great, before switching to Apple I was lucky if my laptop would last 3 years...

I even doubt everyone, including me, what is the certainty that we would have bought bitcoin instead of an iPhone at that time if we did not know its value in the future? That's why many people didn't invest in bitcoin back then, at that time bitcoin was too risky to trust. We only regret when looking back at the past but never had the courage to become a pioneer and take risks. And if we talk about opportunities in life, we have even given up a lot of things, not just bitcoin.

I like that chart and data that shows how much BTC those iphones before. The rich folks can just buy how many they want because they can afford.
They're wise because they're already rich so technically, they probably don't need to invest and buy bitcoin anymore.
But a pleb like me, I'll need to endure all of what's happening on this world and the trend setters doing about owning this device.
I'm not buying it, I'm buying BTC!

Nice information With the change of time, the price of Bitcoin started to increase rapidly. Bitcoin is really a potential coin. where as every country's currency has depreciated, it has become very difficult for people to buy goods. Bitcoin out there is only growing.  so holding Bitcoin now is one of the best ways to protect yourself from inflation. They have never been able to generate more profits than Bitcoin. And that's why it's possible to start a phone company with the same amount of bitcoins that it took to buy an iPhone 4s

Most of our technology products or consumer goods will lose value over time, not just the iPhone.  and the purpose of buying it is to serve life needs, while bitcoin is an investment.  I find it quite lame to compare these two.

If someone has a low income and a difficult life, but often buys expensive things and does not focus on improving their life, then that person is really a fool to pursue expensive products like the iPhone.  but if a person has a high income and buying a new iPhone is simple for him, why doesn't he have the right to do it?  Because we try to invest and work, isn't it to have a better life?  an iPhone or a car is just one of many other things we strive for as we improve our lives.

I don't think they have botched their plan, it's just that they are finding a way to attract users' blood in a perfect way. Even if the iPhone doesn't have significant improvements, users are still willing to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade to the latest model, so they don't need to rush to cram in hundreds of new technologies like Android devices are doing. Nearly all iPhone generations do not have too many significant upgrades, instead they upgrade little by little to create differences between generations. Apple has been really successful in their business strategy, they have convinced users to upgrade even when there are no major upgrades.

This is wrong, there are almost no new features in iPhone 15 compared to iPhone 14, they just make the SoC and battery and some other hardware parts a bit better, basically what they should've done last year but they botched it for last year's launch so they had to find a way around it by overclocking parts. This year they are using the "true" upgrades that they should've been using all along.

still a good feeling for me that my first iphone4s   purchased back then did not used Bitcoin , instead my December bonus from my first Job , because of does , maybe this will be my biggest frustration in life.
162 bitcoin for 10-13 years, ,
how we all wish that we have read this thread back those year and believe bitcoin will reach that level same as iphone be having  iphone15 version from apple lol.

Which is the actual point of the topic.

 

If you bought 53 Bitcoins instead of your iPhone 5, you could buy 100 iPhones right now and you would still have more Bitcoins left to enjoy the next bull cycle.

You might be having shower-thoughts like, "Is it too late"? I believe NOT. 21,000,000 Bitcoins - Unlimited Fiat, just keep working/saving, then Buy the DIP and HODL.

Lol, I know exactly the feeling, I mean who wouldn't smile if they know their portfolio is showing 2BTC I mean if it's me I would definitely smile and for getting iPhone 15 people over here in my country crave for these apple products as of its some kind of supernova phone that can actually make you feel like superman. Lol

I can't even begin to imagine how many chances people who rush out to get the newest iPhone every time it comes out have lost.
How I wish iPhone users would one day understand the chances they have lost for so long. Instead of purchasing a flashy iPhone that wouldn't increase their fortune, they should have thought about investing in bitcoin.
What I've seen shows that a product can fade away or lose value over time, but an asset like bitcoin will continue to increase in value even after the expensive product has disappeared.

I also find Apple's phones overrated and too expensive for what they are. I don't get why people are so hyped about them; you can find great alternatives for 1/3 of their price. However, this thread isn't to discuss if they're worth it or not. As funny as this data might look, it does the job of explaining how Bitcoin has been statistically proven to increase in price over the course of the years. You can also detect Bitcoin's all-time high near the iPhone's 13 release at the end of September, close to November's $69,000 mark. Certainly, this doesn't guarantee a forever increase in value, but judging by the previous years, it's fair to claim that Bitcoin is likely to gain value in the near future.

Isn't it amusing how Apple releases these 'new' models as if they were no big deal? The iPhone 15, just another shiny toy in their ever-expanding lineup. Rather from being an indication of Apple's ingenuity, those BTC values really show how far Bitcoin has come. When the price of an iPhone 4S was 162 BTC, anyone there? Fun times. And now, the iPhone 15 will cost 0.031 BTC? Ooohladoo. Also, those prices for the Pro models? Apple has a great ability to take advantage of people financially. Anyone pre-ordering on the 15th? The 'revolutionary' modifications they've implement this time around seem exciting to me 

Such expenses on luxury items should be when one has twice the amount as annual income or when such a device has the potential to yield more than was spent to purchase it.
Else, why spend 0.031 BTC on an iphone 15 when I can easily manage with a smaller brand for now, HoDL my BTC till after the halving or upon getting an equivalent amount from a disciplined DCA strategy till I can afford thrice the device?

Inflation has sure done more in hyping products and services to this effect. If more luxury brands and services offer to accept crypto/BTC as payments, such inflated prices will be easily afforded.

I remember the day when I sold my bitcoin just to buy a newly release iPhone 7 plus. It's a bad decision especially when I'm seeing the price list you had list in the OP. Today, my iPhone 7+ is barely hanging without updates coming from apple since it's not supported anymore. Today, where iPhone 15 is release, I know that it isn't worthy selling bitcoin just to buy the current flagship apple product knowing that it depreciate quite fast and the bitcoin bull market that we are anticipating is coming. I would probably stick to my old phone and wait till I profit to buy a new phone I guess. 

Maybe it would be better to do a reverse correlation? How much does iPhone 15 (and all other versions of previous generations by year of release) need to pay to get 1BTC? Make the same list as yours but in the opposite direction.

I don’t need these useless bitten apples and I wouldn’t give up bitcoin (even part) for this, but on the contrary, I would be happy to.

Some people don't think about how this gadgets will become valueless but they just want satisfy their urge by having the latest. Their are some people who knows about bitcoin and how valuable it is, they still find it very difficult to invest their money in Bitcoin or valuable things that will yield more profits.

I think the problem people are having with money is lack of discipline, because I don't see any reason why one will spend a reasonable amount of money on something that will devalue withing a short time.

What a coincidence, I've seen a post while I was browsing on social media about how much needed to buy the new iPhone 15 Pro Max and that states if it's in bitcoin that should be around 0.048BTC and it has also indicated the amount in other cryptos like ETH which was around 0.78 ETH. Now, we're seeing the true value of Bitcoin and if you guys have probably seen the grocery inflation/deflation of what can a bitcoin buy, we're already coming up to that era. While the goods are dealing with inflation and prices are going up just as these new releases of iPhones. Bitcoin is also having its own phase of deflation as it is having more value and purchasing power.

Lucky you are, I have never had my own iPhone. LOL.
