From 2012. 13 years ago. It's interesting to note if we are talking just the desktop almost nothing has changed from 2012.

Which means it’s time to update the current value!

In 2025 it would be $7,245.62.

I’ve kept thinking about this, so I decided to run it in reverse. An iPhone 16 would be would be about $340 in 1991 money. That’s only 70% more than the cell phone in the catalog, or only _42%_ of the camcorder! The camcorder alone would be almost $1900 today. You could get a folding phone for that. Or three iPhones 16Es.
