Have you ever owned an Apple device?

[dizmo]

So, we all know that Apple isn't the most loved company on the site. However, they do some things extremely well, including personal music players and devices that anyone can catch on to using.

I have a simple question: Have you ever owned an Apple device?

 

With the amount they've sold, I'm going to assume most of us older users have at some point in time. The youngin's, maybe not so much.

 

I personally have owned:

 

iPod Video 60GB Gen 5

iPod Nano 8GB Gen 6

 

I'd never own a laptop, phone or anything of that nature though.

Ive had

-Ipod Shuffle

-Ipod touch 4th gen

-Iphone 5

 

I enjoyed all of them. I later discovered I was more of an Android boy (although if apple gives me a good reason ill go back). I also don't have a use for an Ipod anymore cause I carry my phone everywhere

[Master Jelly]

I had all the ipods from long ago, nano, classic, shuffle, touch first gen, second gen, third gen and fourth gen. I phone 4, Iphone 5. now I have the Iphone 8

never owned a apple PC. and no im not a apple fan boy I really dont like apple as a company just what they make, I used android for my phone for the longest time. I just dont like how laggy and clunky most of the androids phone OS's feel compared to apple. way more slow downs from my experience

I have, and still use, a iPod Nano 8GB 4th Gen. It's now the designated music player in my car as I'm not a fan (more like too lazy) of putting music in my phone.

Yep. I own an iPhone 3GS, iPhone SE, iPod Touch 4th gen, 2007 MacBook Pro and 2012 iMac. (I bought the 3GS and both macs used). They work well but I always find myself being forced to upgrade by Apple. That's why I've always preferred Windows computers and Android phones  

I enjoy the iPod and 3GS though, as they don't beg you to upgrade all the time..

i'll be getting an ipad in a couple of days, but up until now, no.

[WihGlah]

I hate how I like the iPhone 8+.

 

I will be moving back to android next time though.

[littlegreen]

I own an iPad, iPhone, a watch and a pair of AirPods.

 

It all really clicks together nice - although, it's not my first EcoSystem migration.

I also rock a 100% working hackintosh, so I've closed the loop.

However, I think if Apple doesn't launch a MacBook with an NVidia graphics within the next 12 months I will be switching away from everything Apple. That is - get rid of EVERYthing - and switch to Android + a linux-based PC + laptop.

The iPod Nano 6th Gen (2010) is literally insanely small:

4.1cm by 3.75cm

0.87cm depth

iPhone 4S

 

That's it. No more. Not planning on getting anymore either. While I'd love to, the cost is too high for what it is.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean since iPhones start at like $449

[BeeBee8]

I still have my iPod classic. Just love it. I also got a 15" MPB 2018 base model and honestly, there are very few compelling windows alternatives offering such hardware and durability. And, Machintosh is way more powerful even in doing basic stuff. You just have to get used to it. I use it for programming and that is the best machine you can ask for... Of course, you can't game on it or work on Microsoft development stuff but, unix shell is far more powerful that ms-dos.

iPhone 7 I believe. Still a great phone in 2018.

True, but a relative bargain for Apple.

So much forehead and chin...

I'd be tempted to try out an Apple phone if they changed a few things, like how apps are organized and if they bring back the fingerprint reader.

is it really, for a three year old device?

Fair enough. I'm not a fan of buying a "new" old item. I'd rather keep my old item until it really starts having performance issues. My OnePlus 3T has been going strong and was very cheap at release compared to the other flagships.

 

My original comment about wanting an Apple product was aimed more towards a MacBook Pro. Not phones.

SoC performance is still up there, Cameras are great for the price, the only thing I see what makes it "old" is the lack of wireless charging.

Ahh well yes, that is true.

I had an iPod Touch 2G back in the day, followed by an iPhone 3GS.

Then no Apple products for 8 years, and now I own a 2009 Mac Pro, which I bought faulty because I wanted to build a PC in the case, but fixed the fault (the problem was that it hadn't been cleaned in 9 years so the heatsinks were a bit dusty to say the least, so after a vacuum and new thermal paste it was as good as new) and have been using it as my main rig for a couple of months now. Turns out dual E5520 Xeons is still plenty powerful nearly 10 years later.

Unlike the Macs of today, it was designed to cool the components and to be upgradable, so when I can find a good deal on an ex miner RX series card, I'll upgrade the GT120, but to be honest it still runs Sketchup and Fusion fine so I'm in no rush. In fact, the only thing that I've changed is upgrade to 16GB RAM and install an SSD
