No. Maybe in 15 years? Maybe?

Then again, all bar the earliest Apple products don't hold their value due to how many are made and sold.

They are worth about £100 ish on eBay right now. Can get more for them with the box plus all accessories.

 

iPod Touch isn't as expensive though. The general hype for iPod Touches has fallen quite a bit.

Possibly! yeah. Like you can sell it after 20 years. 

 

If the product is produced in limited numbers, it would attract the collectors. After 20 years, many original iPhone will be discarded and put for recycling.

 

So if you can hold the phone for that amount of time, it'll be worth.

If you look at good selling electronic devices from years ago, no. But I am not a psychic.

 

For example, if you look at Nintendo's old console you will see a pattern of them not being super valuable. NES and SNES systems still sell for like.. I dunno, 30-50 dollars. 

Same for 95% of old consoles. Only stuff that is still valuable is stuff like the TurboGrafx 16 or VisualBoy. Consoles that really did not sell well, so have become collectible.

If it's in mint, pristine condition, hang onto it. If it's used and scuffed forget about it.
