How much do you think Apple would pay for an Iphone5 or maybe some current Android phone in the 80s or 90s? Ive been curious about this.

If you mean how much would they sell it for in the 80's or 90's, I'd probably say more like $1,000 (which was worth more than it is now) with a 2-year contract. If that's not what you mean, please rephrase.

I think he means getting their hands on the technology to replicate it... so probably in the millions...

Hey,

It makes sense that people didn't have cell phones with capability back then because Apple was on the verge of making their products , so was microsoft. Overall anything beyond the classic spin phone with the numbers underneath it was extarordinary. That being said, the best price could have been in the thousands or late hundreds depending on the company. I'm not sure how much computers would have been? Does anyone know?
