I did this (bought Apple stock at iPhone launch). I did it for a non-standard reason -- I'd worked around the telephony space and found it amazing that Jobs had been able to persuade AT&T to a) not charge $100/mo for data service and b) not lock down the device. That was such an incredible feat that I felt they were going to sell large numbers, because the greed of the telcos had in my mind been the impediment to the success of older similar devices. It had nothing to do with all the normal Apple-fan stuff. Of course I subsequently sold when I felt Apple had jumped the shark (I think they were making iPods in multiple colors, something like that). Around 2012 probably.
