I'd have to say my 42mm SS Apple Watch with Black Leather Loop. Just feels great every time I put it on in the morning, it's something very new and different from Apple, and the little conveniences it brings throughout my day really pay off. Though, it would be even MORE my favorite if I got a Link Bracelet for my birthday. 
My iPhone 6s Plus is high on the list too. It's the first iPhone I've ever owned where performance/responsiveness is NEVER an issue (and I've owned every one since the iPhone 3G). Plus, force touch is pretty slick, and definitely fresh and new.

Easily my iPhone 6S.
It's amazing to think how far technology has come. I carry this super powerful personal computer with me every day. I use it from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to bed, every single day.
My phone has become my primary device for browsing the Internet, posting on forums, listening to music, reading and replying to emails, banking, keeping up to date with news, communicating with friends, social media. It does everything I want it to do, and is easily the most personal piece of tech I own.
I love my iPad Air 2, and would be my second most used current Apple product, but usage of it comes no where near to what my phone usage is. Even sitting on the couch, I'll be doing stuff on the iPad, but my iPhone is still sitting next to it for WhatsApp, controlling my music via AirPlay etc...
My Retina MBP barely gets any usage any more. It used to be my primary source of managing and listening to my music library, but with my 128GB 6S, and great new stereo speakers hooked up to my AppleTV, it's all done through the 6S now. I think the only time I end up using the MacBook is when my iPhone and iPad are charging!

Close tie between 13'' rMBP and 11'' MBA with the rMBP winning as that's the device I ultimately choose to go with for myself.
The 11'' MBA has a lot to recommend it though: excellent battery life, great price, etc. etc.
My favorite of all time remains Gumdrop iMac G3. Have a launch era Bondi Blue unit and man it looks so cool. Those things got me into Apple in a big way back in the late 90s...when every computer was beige beige beige

It really is a tough one, since each of my Apple devices serves a different purpose and each of them is my favourite for what I use them for
I think it will have to be my late 2009 iMac. Nothing beats that huge display. I have also upgraded it with more RAM and an SSD so it is still pretty quick. And I use it with Apple's full size keyboard and a Logitech Mouse (I really do not like the Magic Mouse nor the trackpad).
Second is probably my late 2013 MacBook Pro. I love the portability of the device, and even editing RAW photos in Lightroom works pretty well. Also the battery life is still very good. It is probably the only of my Apple devices I could not live without, since I am in grad school and need the portability.
Third would be my iPhone 6. It is super convenient to have an internet browser and music player in my pocket. However, this might be my last iPhone (I have used nothing but iPhones since the original) if the rumor about the headphone jack is true. Okay, that is a different topic.
Next is my Apple TV4. It is extremely convenient to have access to Netflix and use Beamer so I don't have to play with cables every time I want to watch TV.
I also have some other Apple products like iPad Air 2, Airport Extreme, Apple TV3, iPod Classic and so on (wow when thinking about it I have accumulated a lot of things over the years). But that is probably my top list.

Favorite as in most used? The Apple Watch. Favorite as in most generally useful? My iPhone 6 Plus. Favorite as in most enjoyable? iPad Pro. Favorite as in most productive? MacBook Pro.
As of today, my favorite device is my 5k iMac. Gorgeous screen, and crazy fast
Not sure if you were having a moment or just reiterating your joy of your new 5k iMac, but either way you get a pass

Tbh, its an alzheimer's moment. The sad thing was, that I thought I responded but I only saw my iPod comment in reply to Olly's post. At least my message is consistent
I agree 100% with this. As well as my Apple Watch. I use it everyday and really love the functionality and convenience it adds to my day.

I would have to say its a toss up between my Magic Trackpad 2 and my iPhone 6+. When it first came out last year I thought force touch was just going to be another feature that no one really will use and never really take off. Ive been using it got about 3 months now and I absolutely can't live without it. I love the ability to peek into links without having to open a whole new webpage. Adding a calendar date from mail is super convenient too. Coming from an iPhone 5 the upgrade to a 6 plus was huge. It took a few days to get used to all of the new screen real-estate but its awesome. I could never go back down in screen size. Every time I see a 6 or even a 5s it just looks tiny and I don't know how people use them. I have pretty large hands so typing on the plus is easier than the 6 which was a major selling feature for me. There are issues with it. Sometimes it lags and requires a restart but mostly its been flawless.
Are you really bigging up TWICE the plus points of a mobile phone, That your main reasons for liking it most are that it's a mobile device? Lol no other reasons?
Two Apple devices, iPad Air 2, with 128 GB, WiFi, and cellular, the other device a iPhone 6S Plus 64 GB. Had a six year old MBP, however the GPU died, so I sent it to Apple for recycling received a Apple Store credit; still have the credit unused.
With the MBP the iPad Air 2 was rarely used, then on a whim I purchased a Belkin QODE keyboard for it. Wow, that keyboard changed the iPad Air 2 to my go to device. Thought about using the Apple Store credit for a MacBook Air. With this iPad Air 2 and keyboard for my computing needs there is not much I cannot accomplish. All my files are on Cloud storage thus I do not have need for more than 128 GB on the iPad.
Somethings using a laptop are easier and faster to accomplish than using the iPad. As a solution I purchased a Toshiba Chromebook; outstanding laptop.
