The original name of the first Apple computer demonstrated by Steve Wozniak in 1976 was the Apple I.
Wozniak designed the computer as a relatively simple single-board machine and demonstrated it at the Homebrew Computer Club in July 1976. Steve Jobs recognized that the design could be sold as a complete product rather than merely shared as a circuit design.
The Apple I was sold by the newly formed Apple Computer Company for $666.66. Unlike many hobbyist kits of the period, it was supplied with a populated circuit board, although users still needed a keyboard, display, power supply, and case.
Only about 200 Apple I units were produced. The later Apple II, introduced in 1977, was a much more complete and commercially significant system, so the two models are sometimes confused when people discuss Apple’s earliest computers.
