Today, Apple, which we know with many products from smart phones to entertainment systems, was only interested in making computers when it was first established. Even at that time, the founders of the company Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak had to make the first prototype with their own hands.
Apple-1, the prototype of the first Apple computer (which was the name at the time) that the founders soldered and assembled with their own hands after all these years, was put up for auction earlier today.
Expected to sell for more than $500,000
According to the information in the auction organized by the RR Auction auction house, this prototype is the first prototype made by the hands of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The founders also used this prototype to demonstrate to a computer vendor named Paul Terrell in order to market their products.
According to the auction information, there is a small crack on the part where the power unit is located on the motherboard and there are some minor scratches and bumps. However, an offer of 230,000 dollars has already been received for the prototype, which is in very good condition considering its age.
Previously, an Apple-1 that Steve Jobs made at home was auctioned off and sold for $400,000. The prototype is likely to sell for over $500,000, according to experts at the auction.
