What devices do you have and what do you use them for? I'll start.

Macbook pro 15' 2015 - More heavy duty stuff (music production), some PC games (yes, i know....) physical keyboard, mac OS, mail, just normal computer stuff.
iPad Air 2 - Media consumption (youtube, internet, light gaming), logic remote, sofa or bed usage, traveling, and its just easier to pick this up than get my macbook out of its case.
iPhone 6s Plus - Calls, texts, social media, music, just general phone things.
 
Early 2015 Macbook Pro 13" - First mac and I absolutely love it.
iPhone 5S - Everything about this phone is great, and I am surprised at how well it runs on iOS 9. Definitely looking to upgrade to the iPhone 7 though.

Portability is key for me. I carry my electronics, chargers, and a portable battery pack everywhere I go (work, college...starbucks, lol).

I may as well mention that I have had other Apple products before the two devices mentioned above.

iPod Nano - Second Generation with 2GB of space when it was brand new.
iPhone 4/4S - My first smart phone, and I only used the 4 for about a week. AT&T allowed me to upgrade to the 4S for absolutely free without using my upgrade because the 4S just came out the day I bought the 4. However, the 4S was sold out, and they did not want to lose a sale. Typically, when people ask me what my first iPhone was, I will usually just say the 4S.
 
PowerMac G4 and PowerBook G4 gathering dust in the attic, have not used them in years.
2008 15" MBP, gathering dust on a bookshelf, stopped using it about a year ago
2012 base model Mini, runs 24/7 as an iTunes server with external drives
2013 11" i7/8gb/512gb MBA - primary machine
128gb iPhone 6s Plus - just got this, use it mostly as a small iPad

My first Apple Product was an Apple ][ that I got in 1978, serial number was under 5000. First Mac was the 512k "Fat Mac" in 1985. Seems like I've owned about one of everything since then. :D

Hallelujah! I am not the worst! ;)

I still maintain that only local thieves would really like to know what I own, but let's settle for seven devices in total. And I would kinda like the new rMB even though I have zero need for it.
 
Since I'm not wealthy like everyone else, I got my first Apple computer in 2012. It was a Power Mac G4.

I've got a Power Mac G4, late 2006 iMac (that somehow still works), I had an iMac G3 but it perished, I got a PowerBook G3 and a PowerBook G4, I've got an iPhone 5 that I still use, a 4th gen iPod Nano, 2nd gen iPod Touch, 4th gen iPod Touch (it was so cool when it was new) and a 7th gen iPod Nano. I might have more, and if I do, those are the only devices that I can think of.

I do have plans of buying a refurbished Mac when I actually do get a job. Depending on what's the best price at that time, it will be either an iMac or a MacBook Pro. I need it to run Final Cut Pro X with Motion and Compressor, as well as Logic Pro X.
 
Late 2013 rMBP 2.4 ghz i5
iPhone 6s Plus 128GB
iPad Air 2 64 GB
Airport Express

I also have a white (well, some of it is yellow now) Macbook from 2007 at my mom's, which was my first Mac.
 
:apple:
I have:
- iPhone 3G black
- iPhone 4 black
- iPhone 5 black
- iPhone 6 space grey
- 38mm Apple Watch Sport with white band
 
iPhone 5c blue 32GB - My go to device when I sell the current one prior to upgrade. Also my first iPhone.

iPhone 6s SG 128GB - Sold my 6 to get it. Didn't get it on launch day like promised but T-Mobile made it right with me.

iPad Mini 3 SG 64GB - I use this for when I travel because it's unlocked so I can get a SIM for whatever carrier works best where I am. Currently has AT&T running on it. This device gets used a lot for my manga, forums, news, etc as it's very portable.

iPad Air 2 SG 16GB - This is the basic Wi-Fi model with the lowest storage. Only used at home to watch videos on Netflix, HBO Go, YouTube, etc.

iWatch 42' SG Sport/Black sports band - This was my first watch period. While I still rarely use it, due to my health condition, I've been using it to help keep track of my heart rate. Sometimes I'll use Siri to verbally send a text if it's really long.

iPod 4th gen Silver 64GB - I literally use this as my alarm clock only.
 
'08 Mac Pro, 8-core 3.2GHz
2012 MacBook Pro, 15"
iPhone 4 in black
iPod Nano 6G, in silver, on a steel wrist-strap
 
Too many to list...

I have Macs pretty well represented from 1986(512Ke) to 2012(mid-2012 15" MBP). My lack of older ones is primarily due to financial/availability constraints(original 128Ks are pricey and tough to find in good condition). Along with those, I have plenty of period-appropriate Apple(and 3rd party) peripherals. I have keyboards and mice across all the designs and styles, including matching KBs and "hockey pucks" for all of my iMacs. The only ones I don't have examples of are the Extended Keyboard I and the aluminum keyboards(I love Extended IIs and use a couple of them on more modern computers). I have printers of every major technology(dot matrix, inkjet, laser) and even some other interesting things that Apple has dabbled in like the digital Quicktake 200.

I've never really gotten into Apple IIs(or ][s), but do have a working IIgs and a long-dead IIe.

I have a couple of iPods, including a 3rd generation and an iPod Classic.

My first iPhone was a 3gs-it was replaced by a 4s and then a 6. I gave away the 3gs.

I have an iPad 2 that I rarely use-to me I'd rather either use the phone that fits in my pocket or get out the laptop that's usually with me anyway. I'm not against the product, it just doesn't fit into my life.
