By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.
- An iPhone Pro at launch $999
The components inside an iPhone cost Apple roughly half the sticker price — the rest covers R&D, software, marketing, and famously healthy margins.
- An Apple Vision Pro headset $3.5K
Each Vision Pro contains more pixels in its two tiny displays than a 4K television — packed into screens roughly the size of postage stamps.
- A Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup $63K
The F-150 has been America's best-selling vehicle for over four decades — Ford sells one roughly every minute of every day.
- A Steinway Model D concert grand piano $200K
Each Model D takes about a year to build and contains over 12,000 parts. Most major concert halls keep several, tuned before every performance.
- A Rolls-Royce Phantom, before options $517K
Each Phantom's 'Starlight Headliner' is hand-threaded with hundreds of fiber-optic stars — buyers can order the exact night sky from a date of their choosing.
- A Sixties Ferrari 250 GTO sold at auction $48.4M
Only 36 were built, and the owners' club is so exclusive that some sales are vetted. Private GTO deals have reportedly topped even the public auction record.
