AAPL has also split several times since then, making the difference even more dramatic

  Aren't historical stock price services split-adjusted already?

    Yes, they are. August/July of 2020 was the most recent AAPL share split. Price per share before split was ~$450usd, but it equated to ~$115usd split adjusted.

      Something about this phrasing bugs me. If I bought 10 shares for a buck and it goes up and splits I have way more than 10 shares at $150 - so either I misread you or the person who used $150 didn't account for splits.

        The shares didn't cost 10c, whatever costs 150$ would´ve cost 10c in 1980 split-adjusted. So if you bought 1 share for 10$ in 1980 (as an example), today you would have 100 shares at 150$. I invite you to go find the actual prices of the stock back then, and track down all the stock splits. But it´s not helpful for the point that "aapl" appreciated in value about 1500-fold over the last 40 years.
