I have:

iPhone 13 Pro Max - For phone things. Goes everywhere with me - does calls, texts, music, podcasts, snapping pictures etc.

MacBook Air M1 - My main machine for general computing on the go or around the house. Mainly web browsing and watching YouTube, but I also do some retro game emulation. Sometimes do work on here if I'm WFH but at my partner's house (or otherwise not at home or in the office).

Mac mini M1 - For general computing at home, especially times when I want to take advantage of two larger screens. Sometimes I feel more productive / comfortable at a desk so I might choose to use it over the MacBook even though they're essentially the same computer. As such, it's used predominantly for WFH work at the moment, but has also been used for web browsing, photo editing, and light gaming.

iPad Pro 11" - My digital canvas that I use for drawing & Illustration, mainly at home. I sometimes use it as an external monitor for my MacBook also. It gets used for web browsing etc. if I'm taking a short break from drawing, or if I've finished drawing for the day but my MacBook isn't in reach.

iPad mini 6
- For drawing on the go, such as on the commute to work, and web browsing if I'm staying somewhere overnight (for example) and don't want to lug the MacBook around. I might also take it into training courses for note taking (only done this once so far, but I enjoyed the experience so will do it again in future).

Apple Watch Series 7 - For fitness tracking (more like tracking how unfit I am these days), notifications, and... telling the time

AirPods Pro 2 - Listening to music / podcasts when I'm out and about

AirPods Max - Listening to music / podcasts at home. Also use it for work calls when I'm working from home.

Apple TV HD
- When I'm on my own, I usually watch video content on my MacBook Air, but if I have guests around and we're all watching something together, the Apple TV HD steps up. I don't have a 4k TV so the HD model has served me well for over 5 years now.

HomePod Mini(s) - I have two in the living room, that sometimes get used in tandem with my ATV and soundbar for bigger sound. A pair in the kitchen for when I'm cooking and want to listen to something. A pair in the bedroom that typically play ambient sounds for helping me sleep. One on the landing outside the bathroom door. Used when getting ready to go out / in the shower etc.

To be fair my Apple ecosystem is excessive, however I have a real justification for owning all of them. I don't just have them for the sake of having them. Granted, they don't get used equally, but each has their own strength and although there is overlap - some tasks are just much better done on an iPad (drawing, note taking) or a Mac (web browsing, photo editing, retro gaming)

  8. Apple Pencil 2
  9. MacBook Pro 2020 (one of my wife’s macs as I am a PC gamer)
  10. 2 x AirTags (that aren’t in my pic)
Can’t wait to see or know what you all use! I haven’t included watch bands etc.

Current
27" iMac (Retina 5K, Late 2015) - Added an external SSD and installed a fresh copy of Monterey on this. Serves as both my wife's main machine and our home media server

M2 MBA (8/512) - My former daily driver and now my main travel/out and about machine

M2 Mac Mini (8/256) - My new daily driver. Don't WFH anymore and consequently don't spend near as much time in my office as I used to. Basement is much more comfortable for me and so I hooked this up to my 65" TV. Is a hell of a lot nicer surfing the web and doing my other normal activities this way, in addition to serving as a good music/movie player when I crank up my soundbar.

iPhone 13 Pro Max (128GB) - The penultimate iPhone for me. Coming from an XR (and 6S before that), the size, display and speed/responsiveness are still top-notch nearly 3yrs on IMO.

Retired

Mid-2011 Mac Mini - My second Mac and my first Apple desktop. Upgrading the RAM from 2 to 8GB afterwards really kept this thing relevant for me up until I bought the iMac above. Given that the iMac still maintains cross-compatibility with the other machines/devices in my house, while this does not, have elected to not try running OCLP on this.

Mid-2013 11" MacBook Air - Bought this thing to replace my very first Mac (a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM and a pokey 5400RPM HD). Took me a while to get used to the form factor, but after I did, I absolutely fell in love with it. A true road-warrior, I took it everywhere for years. The latest version of Big Sur (11.7.10) keeps it surprisingly capable and cross-compatible with my other devices/machines. Even though I don't use it much anymore, I doubt I'll ever get rid of it.

iPad Mini 5 - I still have an older iPad Air (1st gen?), but over time, I found the form factor a bit ungainly and the size of the mini was much more palatable/user friendly IMO. Bridged the gap between the Plus/Pro Max sized phones and actual laptops perfectly, but despite my attempts to use this as a laptop replacement, I never could get away from the more traditional touchpad/keyboard/screen arrangement of laptops and this eventually fell into disuse. Traded it back to Apple here recently for $160 that I turned around and used on my M2 Mini.

In daily use:

- 2011 Mac Mini. If I didn't rely on iCloud so much I'd downgrade it back to Lion so I could still use Aperture.
- iPhone 13. The centre of my digital existance. I cannot live without it.
- Watch Series 4. Battered but still going with 95% battery health!
- iPad Pro M1. One of the best all-round pieces of technology I have ever used.

My Apple ecosystem consists solely of an iPhone 13. And that's it. Because it does everything I need it to do.
