   Today a $10,000 CD can earn anywhere from under $1 to over $600 in a   
   year, depending on the Annual Percentage Yield (APY); at current   
   competitive rates (around 4-4.1%), you'd earn roughly $400-$410.   
      
   The original iPhone went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007,

   Investing $1,000 in Apple (AAPL) stock in 2006 would have yielded   
   massive, market-crushing returns, potentially turning that investment   
   into over $100,000 by 2025/2026 due to the iPhone launch and subsequent   
   growth
