Two years ago, the world gaped when Apple unveiled the price of its most expensive (Gold) Watch Edition: $ 17,000. Months later, his arrival in Brazil was a laughing matter; nothing less than $ 135,000 for the same model.
For the second generation of its watch (Apple Watch Series 2), as we know, Apple stepped back and turned the Edition line into still expensive, but not surreal ceramic models. Today, the most expensive you can buy is for $ 1,300 in the United States or $ 10,300 in Brazil.
But do not think that the first Apple Watch Edition was the most expensive product ever marketed by Ma. In terms of numbers, yes, but correcting the values of the time according to inflation (that's right to do), the thing was already very beyond
Here's the short list:
5) Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh – 1997Original price: $ 7,499Price corrected: ~ $ 11,200 (~ $ 35,000)
For the latter, TAM. It's very rare to see Apple launching any “commemorative” product, but it did it on its 20th anniversary. And it turned out bad: less than a year after its launch, the company was selling it for just $ 1,995 to burn off the remaining stock.
4) Macintosh Portable – 1989Original price: $ 7,300Price corrected: ~ $ 14,300 (~ $ 45,000)
The first portable Macintosh, equipped with a battery or, in other words, Apple's first laptop / notebook. It weighed no less than 7.2kg (by comparison, a 12-inch MacBook now weighs 0.92kg).
3) Apple LaserWriter – 1985Original price: $ 6,995Price corrected: ~ $ 15,800 (~ $ 50,000)
Laser printer (one of the first in the industry) with built-in PostScript interpreter. It could be shared by various Macintoshes in an office, for example.
2) Apple Watch Edition – 2015Price: $ 17,000 (~ $ 53,500)

Here is the 18-carat gold watch you know well.
1) Apple Lisa – 1983Original price: $ 9,995Price corrected: ~ $ 24,000 (~ $ 75,000)
Lisa started being developed in 1978 but only hit the market in 1983, costing very, very expensive. It was detonated by the arrival of the Macintosh in January 1984, which cost infinitely less ($ 2,495 at the time).

Obviously, the values converted to reais above are direct without considering taxes, shipping or anything of the kind. just to have a notion out of curiosity.
And you, have you had any of these? 😬
