Rare Apple-1 With Steve Jobs Letter Sells for $1.15 Million


The "Hatfield" Apple-1 has sold for $1,148,200 including the buyer's premium, setting a world auction record for a commercially sold Apple-1, according to Bonhams. Two bidders competed for 28 minutes before the October 14 auction closed, taking the working computer beyond its $500,000 to $800,000 estimate. The machine takes its name from original owner Fred Hatfield, who complained to Apple about the lack of software for the Apple-1.
