Every one Apple has sold, with its chip, display, base storage, camera and battery beside the price it launched at in the market you pick.
Research
Figures we could not find
anywhere else, assembled.
Nivritee is a planner, so most of what we do is arithmetic on somebody's own numbers. Occasionally a question is worth answering in public. When it is, we publish the working.
Published
iPhone price history: 18 years, 5 markets
Every iPhone launch price in India, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai, from 2008 to the iPhone 18 Pro — set against inflation, wages, tax and what the phone actually became. Read it →
61
sources
One on every figure, most of them Apple’s own newsrooms and store pages. Anything weaker than that is marked as such on the page rather than blended in.
4
gaps left open
Four prices could not be sourced. They are absent rather than estimated, and the charts draw the hole.
How we work
What has to be true before we publish a number
It has a source, or it does not appear
Every figure on a Nivritee page traces back to something in our own repository — a rate we project with, arithmetic printed beside it, or a cited table. A test fails the build if one does not.
Missing is missing
Nothing is interpolated from a neighbouring year or converted from another market to fill a gap. A plausible invented figure is worse than an obvious hole, because only one of them is visible.
The counter-argument gets a section
If the data cuts against the headline — and on the iPhone it does, hard — that runs prominently rather than as a clause at the end. It is the part that makes the rest worth believing.
The same care, pointed at your own figures.
Nivritee projects what your money does over the decades that matter, in the country you will actually be living in. Nobody here reads your plan.
