What vintage technology prices will remind us how far we've come?

 Ah yes, imagine there was a big iphone release and he came out with this:

And then said -

At our low, low, low price of $4000.

That magnificent machine you are looking at is the first cell phone that went on sale in 1984. Technically it didn’t cost $4000 though.

It was $3,995. Much cheaper. And it also weighed 2.5 lbs.

The phone also makes a cameo in American Psycho :)

If you owned one of those bricks in 1984, you were hot shit.
