When the iPhone launched, it was $499.

If you had invested $499 in AAPL 18 years ago, you would have $20,421 today. That’s enough to buy about one dozen iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB.

Also, there are companies such as Aurora, Nuro, and May Mobility that are challenging the need for human drivers within the supply chain of long haul and last mile logistics for both people and cargo.
