00:00In 2007, Apple launched the very first iPhone for $499.

00:04Over the years, each new model came with a higher price tag.

00:08By 2025, the iPhone 15 Pro is around $999.

00:12In simple terms, the price almost doubled in 18 years.

00:15That matches the reality of inflation, where fear currencies like the dollar lose purchasing power slowly over time.

00:21But when we look at the iPhone through the lens of Bitcoin, the story completely changes.

00:25Back in 2011, Bitcoin traded at just $4.

00:27An iPhone 4 at $600 would have cost you about $150 Bitcoin.

00:33Imagine paying that today.

00:34By 2015, Bitcoin had risen to around $300.

00:38An iPhone 6 cost roughly $700, or just over 2 Bitcoin.

00:42Now in 2025, with Bitcoin above $60,000, an iPhone 15 Pro at $1,000 is less than 0.2 Bitcoin near just a tiny fraction of 1 coin.

00:51So, while the iPhone keeps getting more expensive in dollars, it keeps getting cheaper in Bitcoin.

00:56Why does that happen?

00:56The difference is in how each money works.

00:59Fiat currencies inflate.

01:01Central banks print more over time, and that slowly erodes the value of your savings.

01:06What used to buy your full product may now only cover part of it.

01:09Bitcoin is the opposite.

01:11It has a fixed supply of 21 million coins.

01:14No one can print more.

01:15As demand for it grows, its purchasing power tends to increase.

01:18That's why the same iPhone that doubled in dollar terms over two decades fell by thousands of times in Bitcoin terms.

01:24It's not that Apple made the iPhone cheaper.

01:27The technology improves, but prices in fiat still climb.

01:30What really happened is that Bitcoin made your money stronger.

01:32This contrast shows the power of hard money.

01:35With dollars, you're running against inflation.

01:38With Bitcoin, your purchasing power has the potential to grow.

01:41In the end, the iPhone is more than just a smartphone success story.

01:44It's also a perfect case study of inflation versus scarcity.
