Why did Apple stop creating Apple 1
I am just curious to know why did you stop creating Apple I?

Apple is not here, only end-users like you, I suggest you look to some of the recent biographies of Steve Jobs for a start.
Same reason they stopped creating the Apple II.
I believe they stopped making it so they could make an already-built "all-in-one" solution like the Apple ][. They only made about 200 Apple I's I believe, and only a handful still exist, one recently being sold to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan for over $900,000.
Please do not get offended by my answer.
Why did you think Ford stopped the popular Model T ?
Maybe they moved on and build a better product ? Think about it.
Technology becomes out of date and newer technology takes its place.

The Model A, the successor to the Model T, was a lot faster and used better parts, and looked nicer. Apply that to the Apple I and ][ and you find the Apple ][ was faster, used a better processor, and could display colors whereas the Apple I couldn't. Plus, the Apple ][ was already manufactured and required no modification by the user. Essentially, you bought the machine, plugged it into your TV set and the wall, and you could start running programs via cassettes (or, floppy diskettes, if you had the Disk ][ drive or a later model ][ like the IIc, IIe, or IIgs)
The Apple 1 was Apple's introduction to the computer world. It was essentially a logic board that needed a power source, a monitor & a keyboard etc attaching to it. In my opinion, it was really a demo product showing what could be done as opposed to a complete product ready to fully use. It paved the way for Apple's next creation, the Apple II, everything the Apple 1 had to offer & more housed in a plastic case.
Technology evolves & to answer your question, they didn't so much stop it, they improved & grew it.
