In 2025, What Apple products do we all have? Vote Above!⬆️

Ps. I couldn't fit everything in, there is a limit, sorry!!!😭
 
Yes, it strikes me that the above list is confined to relatively recent products, an example of of the concept of inbuilt obsolescence in practice.

This excludes those of us who pay homage to older (legendary) products.

For example, I still use my iPod Classic, which was the device that introduced me to the world of Apple.

I have participated in a few of these. Most of the time the OP, who asks and posts a poll, disappears. The rest of us get left reading (or scrolling through) long lists of posted hardware/software that with few exceptions no one cares about.

So let me ask…why do you care what I use? What is the purpose of this thread? Why should I spend my time typing this in or even voting?

Are you going to ghost the thread posters like every other OP who has posted something like this?

Oh, yes.

Amen to that.

Ah, some excellent (very necessary and thought-provoking) questions.

Bravo.

Thank you for posting this.

One does wonder why such surveys and polls take place; after all, why - apart from idle curiosity - would one wish to know such things?

And, how does one decide what questions are to be asked?

Moreover, I am always intrigued by what does, and what does not, make an appearance on such a poll, by what is included, and what, therefore is excluded, - and how such decisions are arrived at - when putting together something such as this.

Yes, this always gets me too. Most of the time you can tell what a poster's agenda is with a thread by the things they put in the poll. You can also tell that a poster is just throwing stuff against a wall to see what sticks by how many choices are in the poll.

OP in this thread is on a fishing expedition - for what, I don't know. But the obvious poll bias is Apple devices from within the last five years or so.

I'm still wondering why OP thinks it's important for all of us to take their poll. Why is any of this information relevant? And if it is relevant, to whom is it relevant?

I get 'fun' polls, but usually you find that sort of thing in the individual subforums (where it's more relevant), not in the community forum.

My personal view is that non-established user polls have many motivations, some harmless but many harmful. The least nefarious is lazy market research by students, social media influencers, freelance or small-audience journalists, and low-level business analysts. At the other end of the scale is spamming and spear phishing.

If we assume it's an honest inquiry and not market research or spam, etc, I am quite willing to participate. My major objection to these things (beyond spam and so on) is that in taking the time to respond, the OP disappears. They ask the initial question and post the poll and that's the last you hear from them. Even now, the OP of this thread/poll hasn't responded to anything at all.

Why'd they ask then? Isn't a forum for engaging in discussion? If I wanted to answer a survey, there are plenty of better ones that actually pay you on the internet.

It's all a big time waste for everyone other than the OP.

I don't think anybody who needs data with any value at all is going to get much out of random responses from the tiny number of respondents here.

My perspective is that this kinda thing is more fodder for discussion and diversion than anything else.
 
Hi guys,
My bad, sorry it may have looked like market research. It was just meant to be something that we could all see to get a view on what the average user has. I can’t fit more products in, there is a limit with the website. So sorry!!
 
Indeed. None of the Apple products I use on a regular basis (iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhone SE) are listed.
Only one of my devices was listed and that is simply because my iPhone is the most current of all my Apple devices.

If you want to call my iPhone 11 Pro Max 'current'.

After that we fall back to 2011, then to 2009 and before.

None of the above, check my sig I do have an iPhone 15 Pro Max which is not just a simple iPhone 15, not bragging just being factual.

There are so many Apple products out there and some of us, most of us I would guess, don't upgrade every year. I don't see how this poll could be in any way useful.

Hello eyoungren!
I was thinking the same thing while voting as i was looking for a Mac mini m1
then thought of you and other early intel-ers posting everything you own mac here
then realizing you wont waste your time here.
oh well!

these threads are fun but not intuitive or substantial for help.

anyways i might change that now......

I use a macbook air m1 more since mid-january since my asus zenbook was purchased form a person who paid $300 more than i did. I miss that PC laptop as  software is not up to par anymore.
i mostly use the MBA for typing novels, watching cycling races live, some internets like here and music via foobar.
then i use an iPad for drawing, late nite internets and streaming cycling while im preparing bread.
then i use a mac mini m1 for watching tv shows on several hard drives and live football matches from europe.
rarely i actually use an iphione mini 12 but only for a clock as i have not touched that since sunday AM.
i avoid anything  software wise like music, tv and quicktime since they wont play older media.

that zen book did everything these  products do except for drawing.

i hoped this helped?

Hi guys,
My bad, sorry it may have looked like market research.
Then, you should have explained very clearly this at the outset of your original post, the one that opened this thread.

Personally, I have no desire to be a part of a lazy and poorly-designed attempt at market research.
It was just meant to be something that we could all see to get a view on what the average user has.
What on earth do you mean by "the average user"?

The parameters of your post suggest that you mean (perhaps subconsciously) what you may think of as the "average, affluent, youthful" user.

And, anyway, why would you wish to know this?

What business of yours is this information?
I can’t fit more products in, there is a limit with the website. So sorry!!
Indeed.

However, I am more interested in learning about - and yes, this is something I am curious about - what criteria you used in deciding which Apple products were to feature in your extensive (if limited) list?

In common with @decafjava and @eyoungren, I am not one of those people who chooses to - or wishes to, or feels the need to - upgrade frequently, or yearly.

The average user has a base SKU MBA, a regular iPad chosen on the basis of colour, and a two year old iPhone whatever, also in their favourite colour. There you go.
 
Well said @redcarian most folks aren't obsessive like us here.

I'd be a little more up to date if finances were never a part of the issue. That said, having experienced a work issued M2 Mac for the past year or so, I have established where my limits in upgrading are concerning Macs. Not a fan of the M-series and if I ever own one, it will be for a specific reason. Not because I wanted to upgrade to one.

In any case I am, by the choices I make when I DO upgrade, well beyond the 'average' user and thus out of the scope of OP's poll/thread.

SMH.
 
I have iBook g4 , a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro , 2019 27 " iMac, an iPad Air (1) and an iPhone SE 2020. no agenda here, just the devices that continue to function (my iMac g4 finally died)
