Recently, an extremely rare Apple computer was auctioned, which sold for more than Rs 2.5 crore due to its value and historical importance. The name of this computer is Apple-1 , and it is an important part of the history of Apple company. Let's know about this computer in detail.

Apple-1: Apple's first computer

The Apple-1 computer was created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. It was Apple's first computer and there are several reasons why it fetched such a high price at auction:

• Historical Significance : It symbolizes the early days of Apple and is part of the company's beginnings.
• Rarity : Only 200 units of the Apple-1 were made at that time, and now most of these computers are either destroyed or lost. This makes the surviving units extremely rare and valuable.

The story of Dana Redington and Apple-1

This special Apple-1 computer belonged to Dana Redington, who was Apple's first application engineer. This computer was gifted to her by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1978. Recently this computer was auctioned, in which it got bids of more than 3 lakh dollars and was finally sold for $3,15,914 (about ₹2.5 crores).

Features of Apple-1
