It turns out Apple products from the early 2000s are making big bucks on online auction sites like eBay. Like most collectors' items, the factory sealed versions (those still wrapped in the original plastic) are worth the most: up to US$19,999 for a single unit.
But Apple's history is filled with products that are priced much higher than its new top-of-the-line smartphones.
- Mac Pro (2019) — $5,999 to $52,000.
- Apple Watch Edition (2015) — $17,000.
- iMac Pro (2017) — $13,199.
- Macintosh IIfx (1990) — $12,000.
- Apple Lisa (1983) — $9,995.

Apple's one-port, now-discontinued MacBook was a fairly thin and light laptop. It was also never that powerful. If you can get your hands on one at a sub-$700 price point, and don't need a machine with a lot of power, then it's certainly worth considering.
These old computers can contain valuable metals such as gold, copper, and aluminum. Some reports suggest that an older laptop may contain $30 worth of gold, while newer units would include gold worth $15 to $25. Besides, it notes, there are still a lot of old laptops in storage that will eventually have to be recycled.
His $12-million failure saved Apple. Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985 and then used $12 million of his own money to start a new computer company called NeXT. The operating system for NeXT computers was called NeXTSTEP. When NeXT failed to take-off, Apple bought it for $429 million.
Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985 after a long power struggle with the company's board and its then-CEO John Sculley. Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, and Jobs became CEO of his former company within a few months. He was largely responsible for helping revive Apple, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy.
They failed because of timing. Their product solved problems that people didn't even know they had. And the solution involved a class of technology which drove up the price beyond what they market could endure. It was just too early for the market.
At the time of his death, Steve Jobs' net worth was $10.2 billion.
Who invented the NeXT computer?
NeXT was founded by Jobs after he was forced out of Apple, along with several co-workers.
NeXT introduced the first
NeXT Computer in 1988, and the smaller NeXTstation in 1990.

Future computers promise to be even faster than today's computers and smaller than a deck of cards. Perhaps they will become the size of coins and offer "smart" or artificial intelligence features like expert intelligence, neural network pattern recognition features, or natural language capabilities.
Black Diamond apples are a rare variety from the family of Hua Niu apples (also known as the Chinese Red Delicious). The name is a little misleading because they aren't exactly black, but rather a dark hue of purple.
Ultimately, the standard Apple One subscription is only really worth it if you already subscribe or are interested in subscribing to every service offered. This represents a savings of about $6 a month, which is a bit more than a standalone subscription to Apple Arcade or Apple TV Plus.
It could be used for developing programs, playing games or running the BASIC operating system. Wozniak and Jobs didn't assign serial numbers to the Apple-1, although some do have the numbers '01-XXXX' on the back.
The Apple-1, the first device Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak ever sold, came out in 1976. About 200 units were built, according to Christie's, but only 80 still exist. At the time of their release, these computers sold for $666.66.
Back when the original iPhone was unveiled by Steve Jobs in 2007, the 4GB version of the device cost $499 and the 8GB version cost $599 (both requiring a 2-year contract).
