We know that Apple sells expensive products, but sometimes even to say that is an understatement. You might have struggled to save for an iPhone 14 or one of those new 15-inch MacBook Airs. But it’s a bargain compared to what other Apple devices cost or have cost..
I’m not just talking about thousands of dollars, but tens of thousands of dollars. If you find it hard to believe, here’s a short list of Apple products that drained checking accounts and eventually broke up marriages. And no, the Vision Pro isn’t expensive enough to make this list.
The most prohibitively expensive devices Apple has launched in its history
The Apple Lisa ended up being a historic milestone for Apple, but its price also had those historic connotations. When it was launched in 1983, it already cost a whopping $10,000, which, taking current inflation into account, would be over $31,000. And no, it’s not the most expensive computer ever sold.
He Apple Watch Edition marked the Apple Watch’s initial sales strategy in 2015 as a luxury product. Made of gold, its price could go up to 17,000 dollars. Laugh at the 1,000 dollars that the Apple Watch Ultra costs: this model was much more expensive and now no one would want to have it except to hang it on the wall as a collector’s item.
He mac pro 2019, the last with an Intel processor, had technical specifications as exaggerated as its price. The top of the range cost 63,128 dollars, we did the configuration ourselves. With this money you can even pay the entrance fee to an apartment. Or book a Tesla, which is no small feat either.
And beware, with this Mac Pro the XDR Pro display which at the moment is sold from 5,499 dollars. Its optional Pro Stand base of 1,099 dollars is all the same (and rightly so if you ask me) a even. A professional who in 2019 would have wanted a Mac Pro and several of these screens faced a bill that could well be around six figures.
Will we see an Apple product again at these prices in the future? Well, it can be, and we might even crack schemes. We’ve spent years with rumors of an Apple Car, and unless they want to sell it as a service and not a product, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Teslas stick around too trinkets by his side. We will see if in 2025 or 2026 these suspicions are confirmed.
