Far from the tree
However, the same is not true for technology. Time and again, we've seen old tech devices, classic as they may be, plummet in value.
Rather than collecting old Nokia 8210s, you can now find them on eBay for $19.99. Despite having some really great products, I can say that Nokia is one tech company that simply failed to keep up with the times.
For their part, Apple has been doing a fairly good job keeping their users engaged, consistently bringing new products to the shelf.
At their big event today, they launched a new Apple Watch, a new iPad and the iPhone 13, all which are slightly better versions of previous models.
Using Google Trends data, we can easily track public interest in these devices. As we can see, the only Apple product that seems to be gaining traction is the watch. The other two clearly peaked almost a decade ago.
