Apple I was the first product ever sold by Apple Inc. back when the Homebrew Computer Club was meeting in a garage and the projects where financed from selling personal belongings of the founders.
The 8-bit home computer line, designed primarily by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs among others met great success. Actually, the family of computers became world’s first successful mass-produced computer products at that time. The Apple II series consists of Apple II+, IIe, IIc, II GS models.
