An iPhone 12 cost $799 with a carrier deal in Oct 2020. The same money in Apple stock is worth $2,433 today (3.0x). The iPhone 12 and the other what if I had invested questions are on one page, each with what the money is worth today.

64GB. $799 needed activation with a US carrier at purchase; SIM-free it was $829.
