A historic piece of personal computing history has set a new milestone. An Apple I computer, designated as the "Hatfield" unit, was sold at auction for a record-breaking $1.15 million.

Adding significant collector value to the vintage machine is an authentic signature from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The Apple I represents the company's earliest commercial hardware, making surviving units extraordinarily rare and fiercely contested among tech collectors.

This seven-figure sale reflects the immense historic and financial prestige tied to the foundation of the modern tech industry, cementing the Apple I as one of the most prized artifacts in computing history.
