As is customary in September every year, Apple has just unveiled the next iteration of its flagship product: the iPhone. We're now on iPhone 13 and Apple continues to use a well-thought-out strategy to continue making record profits year after year .
Although the iPhone 13 offers no new major features, many Apple fans are likely to fall in love with Tim Cook's flagship again.
However, instead of buying a brand new iPhone, there is something much smarter to do in my opinion. I might even call it a hiring strategy. Instead of buying an iPhone, you can invest the same amount of money in bitcoin and be patient.
The numbers don't lie. Buying bitcoins instead of iPhones is a much better strategy
I was amused to see what would be available to those who would adopt this strategy today when the price of bitcoin is around $48,500.
You'll see that the numbers are quite edifying:
Released in September 2014, the iPhone 6 Plus was then sold for $949. At the time, the price of bitcoin was $429. If you chose to purchase bitcoin instead of this iteration of the iPhone, you could buy 2.21 BTC.
Today, the iPhone 6 Plus isn't even worth half its original selling price, whereas you'd have the equivalent of $107,000 with your 2.21 BTC.
With the iPhone 7 Plus, released in September 2016, it's much the same. At that time, you could acquire 1.61 BTC, which would be the equivalent of $78,000 today.
The significant increase in the price of bitcoin during Bull Run 2017 changed that. In September 2017, you could have 0.25 BTC by buying bitcoins instead of iPhone 8 Plus. Less than the previous two iterations, but you'd still have the equivalent of $12,000 today.
Apple's iPhone is the symbol of the consumer society at the heart of the current system you must leave behind to protect your future
The funny thing is, even with an iPhone 12 Pro Max in September 2020, you'll still be making an incredible amount of money by opting for bitcoin instead of a mobile device by a small year-to-year margin.
In fact, instead of an iPhone 12 Pro Max as of September 2020, you could have 0.12 BTC, the equivalent of $6.2k today. Until the iPhone 13 Pro Max comes out, with a price of $1399 for the most expensive version, you could get 0.02 BTC instead.
At first, this may not seem like much. However, if you can be patient, in a few years your earnings will likely be comparable to those who chose to buy BTC rather than the iPhone 6 Plus in September 2014.
This is the power of bitcoin. This incredible monetary revolution makes you aware of the vicious circle in which the current system informs you. This system, where it is impossible to save the fruits of your labor, is complemented by a consumer society that constantly forces you to want to buy completely useless things.
The Apple iPhone is the very symbol of this system that you need to let go of to take control of the future of your money.
Final thoughts
The best way to leave this fiat system is to choose the bitcoin revolution. What I just showed you about not buying a new smartphone every year can be applied to many other products and services in your life today. If you make this conscious choice, you will make a fundamental change in your future regarding money.
It all starts with awareness and I hope this story has helped open your eyes. Now is the time to take action. It's up to you.
