My Rare Collection Of 250 Unreleased Apple Products

If you search for rare Apple prototypes, you'll likely come across the name Hap Plain.

Over the last decade, he's amassed a collection of more than 250 unreleased Apple products, like iPhones, iPods, laptops, desktops, servers — and the list goes on.

Plain is a private collector in California, with what he describes as the world's largest collection of rare Apple prototypes by a private collector.

Plain even turned his collection into profit by selling the items on eBay. In March, Plain listed a rare Lisa 2 prototype on eBay for just under $100,000; however, it caught the attention of Apple's lawyers and has since been removed.

But Plain will continue adding to his collection and hopes some of the devices end up in a museum one day.

I like the shots where he's typing on that ancient laptop, like you're trying to make us believe he actually uses that things regularly

can you really get in trouble for selling prototypes like these? if Apple don't want him to sell those prototypes, then they should buy them back from him

If this is from 2018, why is it coming out now?

So he's trying to get a few quick bucks and now because of the lawyers, he's now hoping to have it on display at a museum? lol

How did he get all these prototypes?

Glad Apple lawyers put a check to this. He's probably breaking many laws by selling prototypes.

Extraordinary person reading this, you are not define by your circumstance or your past. It’s not what happened to you that determines your success in life; it is how you deal with those circumstances that determines your success in life! You are strong, you are capable and practice forgiveness (Forgiveness is for you) and gratitude everyday. This will change the course of your life forever! Love you always and I believe in you wholeheartedly ✨❤️ - Nat
