What was your first Apple product?

[acorntoy]

(14yrs old) dealing with a bricked PC because of my brothers limewire downloads. I got my first mac on the day of the the first Ipad release Apr 3 2010. It was a 21.5' Late 2009 core 2 duo, upgraded graphics. My dad told me I was getting a new computer so I was up at the crack of dawn. Was a massive line in front of the Apple store. When the store officially opened the "geniuses" called out for anybody who wasnt buying an ipad so my father and I walked in front of the massive and now -angry- line to be the first in the store.

Truly awful/incredible timing, a fun memory. My dad wanted to get an iPad that day as well when he realized what was happening but I talked him out of it. Not sure they would've even given us one when we skipped the line like that.

I took a B&W photography course, that photo I developed the negative and manually exposed the image onto the paper.
I wonder who here has done same?

My father was a college professor, and for many years he'd make slides to use for lectures (these were photos--not a text outline of the lecture like someone might use PowerPoint for). He processed the black and white slides himself. He did prints at least occasionally, as well. I remember spending part of a school holiday when I was maybe 10 or so while he made some prints. I might have seen the whole process from photographing the source material to the finished prints, but I can't remember for sure. But I'm pretty sure it was a fascinating day.

My first Apple device was a Macintosh Color Classic in 1993.

I joined photo club my junior year in high school(1977). I saved up and bought my first 35mm SLR and my dad built me a darkroom in our basement. I had a lot of fun with that. I liked photography so much that when I graduated the next year, I went into the NAVY as a PH(Navy Photographer) and retired after 24 years(2002). Traveled the world and the US and have so much to show for it. Mostly slides for storage convenience. I haven't done any film processing since the early 2000's, but I still greatly enjoy photography. It's all digital now for me, and mostly with my iPhone.

Apple ][+ purchased April 4, 1980.

Changed my life forever--went from computer-hostile to inveterate Apple geek almost overnight.

That was back in the days when everyone who had an Apple ][ was, of necessity, a hobbyist. I even did the one-wire shift key mod to get true uppercase letters in certain word processing software. And, when a I got an Apple ][GS, I was bold enough to replace the CPU clock crystal to overclock the system--things I would never venture to do with today's systems. Those were the days!!!

][ Infinitum!!! Apple ][ Forever

This trio are the first Apple Products I ever bought. Got me hooked.

 

[AND411]

iPad Pro 11 2020.
Actually only wanted the iPad, but then got caught up in the cycle of the Apple ecosystem:
After that came an iPhone, then a MacBook, an iPad Mini and an Apple Watch, all of which have of course been replaced several times with newer devices....

This isn't mine, but the first one was a Performa 6300CD like this.

My first was a iPhone 7 in black

 

[xAppleFanX]

My first product was the iPhone 4S

 

[Mousse]

A used SE/30. Bought it from a graphic artist. The 40MB (how ever will I fill up all that storage?😂) had PhotoShop, Aldus Freehand, Aldus PageMaker, and almost 100 fonts on it. He had upgraded to a IIci with an L2 cache card. I later bought that IIci from him with a newer PS, Illustrator, Quark Xpress and nearly 200 fonts.

I was an fan for 11 years.

January 2nd 2014 I got my first Apple product when it was also 30 years of Mac: iPad Mini 1st gen.

Now sitting in a drawer when all the iPhones, AWs and AirPods took over...

An iPod classic back in the day. I loved it. Being able to take my entire music collection on holiday with me on a device no bigger than a cigarette packet felt amazing.

I was among the last college students who used primarily darkroom for photography, and I remember the first computer-assisted art class "Generative Art" was offered my senior year.

My first was the iPhone 4, 8 gb model. I have no idea how I managed 8 gb, but I did. It actually translated to 6.4 gb.

1st gen iPad mini with a green Smart Cover.
Mine still has iOS 6.1.3 on it.

I later upgraded to a 9.7" iPad Pro because 16GB was not enough for me.
