VIVA – Computer Apple-1 remaining unit and signed by the Founder of Apple Steve Wozniak eventually sold at a price of 280 thousand Pounds Sterling or Rp 5 billion. This is the first Apple product created by him.
The device was reportedly financed by Steve Jobs by selling campervan VWand around by bicycle. The price was priced at 552 Pounds Sterling, or Rp. 10 million in 1976, as quoted from the website Daily StarMonday, June 20, 2022.
Of the 80 that are still in the world, only the Apple-1 unit still works. According to reports, the PC was professionally restored with genuine spare parts, exactly as it was when it was first manufactured.
The Apple-1 was the computer that started Apple’s journey. Wozniak joined the computer club with Steve Jobs and the couple decided to start selling circuit boards that people could use to build their own computers at home.
At the time Apple was so small that Wozniak was the only person who could solve customer support issues, and Apple eventually offered a free trade-in for the Apple II and customers would return the Apple-1.
Apple later destroyed them, which is why nowadays they are so rare. The product has about 4KB of memory and the user will have to add their own keyboard and monitor.
The Apple-1 has no hard drive, CD or DVD drive, graphics, animation, video or internet. Today Apple is the most valuable company in the world and has pioneered everything from the iPhone and iPod to the Apple Watch.
