Ipod was my first.

Best is the M1 MacBook Air. I loved how powerful/fast it was while having basically all day battery life. But at least for me, as a Windows user, it was missing a ton of productivity stuff that I did on Windows all the time. Not to mention, I couldn't use some apps that were Windows only like Solidworks. Not supporting MST for monitors still pisses me off lol

I have never owned an apple product

The answer to both is iPod Classic.

My first was a printer I got from my uncle, Apple LaserWriter II NT.

The best is my current laptop, MacBook Air which I bought in 2017 and still use daily.

Gotta be the Macintosh SE my dad brought home in... 1986'ish?

Now THAT was a real Mac, real user friendly. Downhill since then.

The only apple product I ever owned was an old ipod touch (couldn't tell you what gen) I got from a pawn shop. I loved it at that time. Since it's the only apple product I have ever owned, it's the best product of theirs I have owned.

An Apple II+ was my first Apple product. My Apple ][GS was the best.

It all went down hill from there into the dumpster.

iPad Pro 10.5 2017. Still working to this day, zero issues, still being updated. Prolly th best 600 euros I've ever spent.

iPod with the click wheel was the first.

The best camera I’ve ever had was the iPhone 5. Loved that phone.

12” PowerBook G4. An amazing laptop for the time.

Apple Watch Series 4 and 7. Absolutely rely on it. Love it.

iPod touch was my first Apple product. The best was the iPhone Xβ€”it felt so unique at the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We had a Mac classic in the early nineties. That was great. Was a big apple fanboy until osx. The best was probably a performa (serial number I forget)

Nothing, and nothing

first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

i've loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it's come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

i really do love my macbook pro though. can't say it's my favorite cause i've had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful

We had a Mac 128k growing up. I've flirted with the ecosystem since, but really don't enjoy their software and walled garden. From an engineering standpoint, my M1 Macbook Air 2020 is pretty much everything I want aside from the keyboard. But damn if I can't wait to get back to Linux.

iPod Nano 3rd gen 4GB that someone left on the subway.

-End of the list-

An iPod with the scroll wheel and I installed an aftermarket OS on it to enable ogg and FLAC support. First and only apple product I owned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm a proud owner of none apple product. All my life and it will stay that way lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

First (and only for over a decade) would be iPod shuffle. Best is my M1 Air. Absolutely ridiculous how much battery life and performance you can get out of it. Starting to wish I'd gotten more than 8 GB of memory (curiously, bloated JetBrains IDEs run fine, web browsers cause more issues) so I might pass it on to my mom when M3 comes out and upgrade to 16 or 32 GB.

iPhone 4 I think it was and hated it from the moment I got it until the moment it died from falling from less than 2 foot on the floor. I will never own another Apple product.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

IMac was my first purchase. Year later I bought mbp that’s my favourite one. Still runs perfectly after 10 years.

I started with an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, and honestly that was probably the best too. My iPhone 5S was pretty great too though. It lasted like 6 years
