Curious as to how attached people are to the ecosystem - Are you happy with just the one device connected to IOS, are you going all-in with many bits of hardware, or somewhere in between?

Just include your personal, current range of products (not other members of your family, nor prior devices you no longer use).

edit...
Oop, realised this may be better placed in another section...Mods, feel free to move it.
 
Other than the Xbox in my living room, almost everything else is within the ecosystem.

- iPhone
- iPad
- MacBooks
-  tv
-  Watch
 
- iPhone X
- iPhone Xs Max
- iPad 2nd gen
- '16 Macbook Pro 15"

When it comes to mobile devices, Apple still has an edge over other competitors. However, I've started to question whether it has an edge over its own previous gen mobile stuff.

For a desktop, I gave up Apple totally. Nowadays, if you need a desktop, you need it for its performance. If you do day to day simple tasks, mobile stuffs are more than enough. In terms of performance for acceptable price, Apple no longer offer a viable option.

I’m curious if things like Airpods count. I’m currently at 6, but I don’t like the direction their laptops and desktops have been going. I like upgrading RAM and storage as I need it.

I didn’t include my AirPods when I voted in the poll, but I have my 2015 MacBook, 4th gen Apple TV, 9.7” iPad Pro, iPhone Xs Max, and series 4 Apple Watch. For the iOS side, I really prefer iOS to android. While I don’t love iOS all the time, I still find it more straightforward to use. I’m an junior electrical engineering student so I usually like tinkering and figuring things out, but I prefer to just have my devices work when I need them to with little fiddling. As to the MacBook, I also make audio and prefer logic, so Mac is the only way to go for me. The overall integration of my devices is really what makes me continue to use Apple products. I just haven’t been able to find a way to get that experience anywhere else, at least not as seamlessly as Apple does it
 
Five devices. Which surprisingly, wouldn’t be easy for me to break away from, be raise they all mesh so well together on how they communicate. That said, the one device that would be the easiest to abandon would be the AirPods, but also is my favorite of all my Apple products.
 
- iPhone XR
- Apple Watch 2
- Macbrook Pro 15"

At the point in time, the Macbook is from 2012 and when it's time to upgrade, I feel it will be replaced with a windows based laptop
