The iconic “I’m feeling lucky" click of nostalgia is still strong—even financially. A sealed, first-generation iPod, priced at just $399 back in 2001, recently fetched a record-breaking $40,264 at an auction—including buyer's premium! That’s more than 100× its original cost.MacRumors

💡 Why This Stands Out:This auction isn’t just about a music player; it’s about memory. The iPod marked Apple’s triumphant comeback, introducing “1,000 songs in your pocket.” Its vintage value now underscores how Apple’s design and innovation continue to resonate—and appreciate—with collectors and fans alike.MacRumors

🔍 Who Will Love This:Long-time Apple fans, collectors, and anyone who appreciates how modern Apple devices grew from revolutionary roots.
