An extremely rare Apple item, not available in stores, could be auctioned for $4 million.
A document signed by Jobs, Wozniak, and Wayne might be returning to auction in 2026.
The document is estimated to sell for $2 million to $4 million. The high price is due to the document's historical importance.
The agreement did not last long. Less than a year after its creation, Ron Wayne sold his stake for $800 when Apple Computer Company became Apple Computer, Inc. That share would be worth hundreds of billions based on Apple's current market value.
This is not the first time the founding agreement has been for sale. In 2011, it was auctioned for $1.5 million. The buyer likely feels satisfied with the purchase, as prices are expected to increase.
Rare documents or unopened devices from companies like Apple can become highly valuable. It is a unique way for enthusiasts to remember the company's origins.
Apple's devices, like the Mac, MacBook, iPhone, and AirPods, have become well-known in tech. Newer iPhones are more generic, and it is hard to imagine a recent model becoming iconic enough for a future auction. The first foldable iPhone, expected next year, might reach that status.
