Sold at a higher price than expected
The first Apple computer from the 1970s, said to have been designed by Steve Wozniak, was recently auctioned off. The Apple 1 prototype, which is expected to find a buyer for at least $ 500,000, was purchased by a collector who did not want to be named, for $ 677,000.
It is known that only around 200 Apple-1 computers were produced. The devices, which originally cost $666, have since been auctioned off for huge sums. But the model sold through RR Auction is very special.
1976 to present
A prototype that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs used as a demo in 1976. The prototype was shown to Paul Terrel in one of the world’s first computer stores selling the Apple-1. The computer also reads Apple Computer A instead of the standard Apple Computer 1 label.
According to the RR auction house, the prototype remained in Jobs’ childhood home for many years. Paul Terrel decided to sell the computer that was given to him years later. It seems that part of the circuit board is broken.
The first generation iPhone also found a buyer
At the same auction, the first-generation iPhone sold for $35,000 in its sealed box.
