Post Your Apple Purchases for 2012

rMBP 2.7/16/768
iPad (3rd Gen) 64GB+4G
iPhone 5 64GB

Before this year the only apple products i had brought where an iPod touch 2nd gen 32gb and an iPhone 3gs 32gb.

So far this year i have got a 15" MacBook pro, Wireless keyboard, Magic mouse, Magic trackpad, iPhone 4 32gb, 5th gen 80 gb iPod classic and 2 docks.

And i will have an iPad by the end of the year (not sure which one yet) and maybe some earpods.

It's been a good year.

Mountain Lion

Just got the shop to add 4 GB of RAM to my Mac Mini and upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I couldn't do it myself as I don't have a credit card to open an App Store a/c with.

This all on-line idea is fine for those who have the facilities to use it. As an ex-pat in a partially developed country where i have limited rights, and none to flash internet speed, it sucks.

That is the the first money Apple have had out of me since 2009, and will probably be the last for a while. The Mini is the only Apple product I own..... the only IT product I own.

This year brought a 15" cMBP and an iPhone 4S. Sadly, neither of these were for me.

I did upgrade the RAM and install an SSD in my MBP, so it feels like I bought a new one.

New iPad
Earpods


So many more wants!

2012 MacBook Air 13.3" 1.8 GHz 4GB 128GB

and a bunch of little accessories

This is the first year that I haven't purchased any Apple hardware. Right now I'm happy with everything I've got: my iPhone 4 should do fine until the next model, the iPad 2 has another couple of years in it and I'm hoping my iMac (2011) will last me well for another 3-5 years.

Just one;

iPad 3 64GB AT&T version in Black


2 purchases this year if you include Mountain Lion.

MacBook Air 11" (4GB/128GB SSD/Mid 2011, refurbished)

*none of these pics are my own.

Airport express
Apple TV 3rd Gen
Iphone 4s at the start of the year
Mountain Lion

My only previous macs were used. I purchased one of the first versions of the MBP off of eBay when it was already over a year old, and loved it for nearly 4 years before the logic board decided to give up the ghost... my next mac was a black macbook that suffered a tragic, prolonged death at the hands of a nosy little cousin and a glass of orange juice... sigh.

So last February, flush with tax-refund money and not being very sensible, I purchased a brand spanking new 15" MBP... and my wallet is still hating me for it.

Now, being as I have not completely mastered my impulse control issues with regard to geek-type purchases, I've gone and bought myself an iPad mini...

The only thing keeping my wallet/bank account from strangling me in my sleep is that I've finally realized it's time to pay stuff down so... here's to the last of my purchases (well, big ones, anyway) for quite a while... but short of another Juicegate fiasco, I should be set computer-wise for a few years yet






now to get my stupid self out of debt...

LOL! Indeed! My will power being what it is, I may be back in this thread before year's end

Just don't tell my bank account... we aren't on good terms at the moment

This year:

Considering I got nothing new last year, and was still using my iPhone 3GS and iPad 1st gen, I upgraded.

iPhone 4S 16GB White.
iPad 3rd Gen 32GB Wifi White.
Also got my dad's unused 2.3 i5 Mac Mini. He didn't like OSX or the computer, so good for me!
Possibly gonna buy myself an Apple TV as a gift to myself!

Hoping to upgrade my 2.4 ghz C2D 13" MBP next year to a 15" rMBP!
