This Apple-1 auction expected to cost the winner as much as 275 iPhone 17 Pros

A working 1977 Apple-1 expected to garner at least $300,000 leads RR Auction's sprawling sale of rare hardware, prototypes, and Steve Jobs memorabilia from Apple's earliest years.


The Apple-1 comes from Apple's second batch of 50 machines, according to the auction house. Known as the "Neumark" computer, it sits inside a modified Smith-Corona typewriter case and was restored to working condition by Apple-1 specialist Corey Cohen in June 2026.

Apple sold the Apple-1 as an assembled circuit board rather than a complete consumer computer, so buyers had to add the other components and an enclosure themselves. The Neumark machine stands out because it still works inside the suitcase. The auction also includes surviving documentation.

RR Auction's estimates aren't guarantees of what buyers will pay. Final prices will depend on how much competition each lot attracts before the sale closes.
