I didn't even know there were so many phones, I tend to buy whatever's the cheapest with the most storage as that's what I always do.
I'd happily buy with Bitcoin if it were cheaper to do so -- I anyway have to sell Bitcoin to buy stuff like that, so there's no difference, and yeah, I know down the line, almost anything I've ever bought in the years past with BTC would have cost far less BTC than in the present.
But if no one bought shit with BTC, would the demand (and price) ever grow so well?

Topic: Price of an iPhone in Bitcoin at their launch over the years. - page 3. (Read 382 times)
2,857 BTC for iPhone 4. I wonder if someone actually bought using BTC.
Iphone 4 was released in June 2010, so I doubt that someone has bought it using BTC.
Not investing on phones that normally gets obsolete after a year. Thats a good lesson to learn, I'd stay with Samsung that lasted for more than two years now. I wasted $43K since I bought iPhone 7 when it was released and then got broken for approving some IOS updates. Worse is that non can repair it.
As long as you can make a call or SMS, smart phones are still of used.
However, comparing Iphone and buying it with BTC is not applicable in my opinion. I would say that be smart, used our money very well, personally the last time I have an Iphone was like 7 years ago and I never bother to buy one again. Might be better to invest my money on others that will give a good returns.

Imagine if you've invested it in Bitcoin instead of a fad that can be replaced in just a year
The thing is that most didn't know about Bitcoin when iPhone 4 was launched.
And this makes the image, although nice, basically useless.
Also some will prefer to invest, some others will prefer to spend, few will find a good balance between the two.
And I will end with: it's counterproductive to spend much time on "what would have happened if..."; it's better to focus on doing better in the future.

The fact is not, the prominent purchase of an item using Bitcoin was that Laszlo's 10k pizza and I think there are other examples of it but spending thousands Bitcoin for an item, I think it haven't repeated, I may be wrong. I think an iPhone 7 doesn't cost that much maybe you're referring on your own denomination of currency. Not investing on phones that normally gets obsolete after a year.

Imagine if you've invested it in Bitcoin instead of a fad that can be replaced in just a year or even not in the course of a year because another one will be out. An iPhone 4 at that time is most likely the price of what the iPhone X's by now but look how much price depreciation it brought over time, always be good on your decision guys and gals.
This is why i do never make use of my coins on buying out something specially with gadget or things that do really depreciates fast and instead do stick with fiat and save up those coins instead.You do know the profit potential in the future and its just dumb for you on actively spending it through the years and when the time comes where it did really make out some price rise then
it would really be leaving out a regrettable feeling.If you do really like to buy a phone then you could always use your money or fiat itself.

This is the effect of material careless spending. Some people delight in material buying and spending. The iPhone 4 is like the guy who bought pizza with bitcoin 11 years ago haha. More people are going to do more careless spending with bitcoin or altcoins that they think are not valuable now but we are all going to be surprised in another ten years.
