Inyaniso kukuba akusiyo yokuqala ye-Apple I ukuba ifandezwe kwihlabathi kwaye sikholelwa ukuba ayiyi kuba yeyokugqibela, kodwa njengoko umbhali-mbali uCorey Cohen esitsho ngokufanelekileyo, lo matshini uhlukile kuba une "PCB" emhlophe motherboard.. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba zonke ezi Apple Is zenziwa ngesandla nguSteve Wozniak kunye noSteve Jobs, kunye neendawo ezahlukeneyo ngenxa yezinto ezilahlwayo abazithengayo ngelo xesha.. Le Apple I ngokwenene yahlukile kwezinye eziye zaveliswa ukuthengisa ngothotho kwaye ke kucingelwa ukuba inokuba luhlobo lwemodeli yangaphambili "njengomatshini wedemo" okanye into efanayo. Banethemba lokunyusa isigidi seerandi ngayo.
Inyani yeyokuba intengiso yefandesi yezi Apple Is ibonwe ngamaxabiso amangalisayo, kwezinye iimeko ide ifikelele kwi-600 lamawaka eedola nangaphezulu. Ngoku ngale Apple entsha inyukela kwifandesi, kulindeleke ukuba inyuse nangakumbi ngenxa yokunqaba kwemveliso ngokwayo, kuba Ineenkcukacha ezithile ezahlukileyo kuzo zonke iimodeli ze-Apple I ezithengiswayo Plus isebenza ngokugqibeleleyo.
Yiyo ividiyo yokwazisa ukufumana olona ncedo lukhulu kwi-Apple endayihlanganisayo ngaxesha lithile ehlotyeni lika-1976:
Ke ukuba ungomnye wabo banemali eyaneleyo yokukwazi ukuthatha inxaxheba kule fandesi imangalisayo yesiqwenga sembali yenkampani yeCupertino, sicebisa ukuba undwendwele iwebhusayithi ngokwayo. Isisa, zazise kwaye uthathe inxaxheba kuyo. Lo mzekelo ukhethekile kangangokuba uCohen ngokwakhe ulumkisa ukuba kukulungele ukubeka kwindawo yokubonisa kwaye ungasebenzisi yonke imihla, ngoko sijongene nenye ifandesi apho unokubona ixabiso eliphezulu kakhulu lokuba nale "Apple" ikhethekileyo. Ifandesi iza kuthatha inyanga ukuqala ngoMvulo, umhla wama-25 kweyeKhala ize iphele nge-25 ka-Agasti, ngoko ke siya kuba silindele ukubona umzobo agqiba ukuwufezekisa.
