[MacRumors]

With the Thanksgiving holiday set to take place in the United States tomorrow, we thought we'd ask MacRumors readers about their preferred Apple products, both from 2022 and earlier.

What Apple product are you most thankful to have? Is it the Apple Watch with its health tracking features, or the iPhone that keeps you in touch with friends and family? Is it the AirPods Pro and their noise canceling technology?

Do you love the HomePod mini with its Apple Music integration, the Apple TV for bringing you your favorite content, or the Mac for getting work done? Let us know what Apple product you rely on most in the comments below.

Beyond what you already own, what are you planning to get in 2023, and what are you most looking forward to?

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate the holiday from all of us here at MacRumors.

iPod.
changed how we consume music forever, the classic is still awesome today.

 

[JosephAW]

Waiting for the first rescue stories via satellite or car crashes.

 

[BB1970]

My current iPad Pro 12.9” M1

 

[JMStearnsX2]

The Macintosh.
Even with it's software flaws that are frustrating, it's still the best everyday computer out there.

 

[Bawstun]

The Apple Polishing Cloth.

We think you’re gonna love it.

 

[Lostanddamned]

Oh no I don’t like this at all. Apple products are tools like any other. They’re cool tools that I enjoy using them, but I’m not thankful for them.

This feels like some real cult-of-apple stuff.

The Mac, easily. I got my first one in college in (cough) the early 1990s and have had a steady succession of them since then. I had to use a Windows PC for a few years at a job and it made me really realize how great Mac OS is, and the Apple Silicon hardware is just insanely good now.

The M1 MBP. It has changed the game for laptop computers for at least the next 10 years. It hammered home a now-obvious fact: just how awesome the A-series processors Apple has been incrementally improving since 2010. It just works.

Original Magic mouse and original trackpad. Replaceable batteries. Looking at them right now: look nearly brand new despite being (guessing) 15 years old. I use BTT as well for enhanced touch operations. Some do not like the mouse, but it works well for me as I sort of let my hand "float" over it. Two classics that are imho better than the current offerings.

 

[antiprotest]

In order:

1. iPhone 14 Pro
2. M1 MBA

But if we count devices that I have left behind, then the iPhone X would be #1, to be replaced by iPhone 14 Pro as the #1.

People form pretty close connections to their tools. Ask a car mechanic to borrow some sockets sometime if you don't believe me.

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

Grasping at content with just something to post. Ridiculous.

 

[efktd]

The Mac.

Agree -- I could live without pretty much any other Apple product (albeit not as enjoyably) and make do with Android or even a flip phone. The Mac (especially macOS) is what I use most and I wouldn't be able to handle Windows or another alternative lol bugs and all with macOS


Also, those custom painted Macs on your profile look amazing! Even better than the original

 

[munpip214]

Apple Watch. Helps keep me and my family healthy. Few other devices have the same accountability and ease of use for so many ages.

 

[bbs008]

Why would i be thankful for something I paid for? That **** aint free.

 

[imnotthewalrus]

The M1 MacBook Air. Paid $849, and it blows away my (retired) 2015 MacBook Pro...

 

[now i see it]

Kind of like asking a heroin addict what poppy he’s most thankful for

Eh I'm thankful for the Mac/macOS and iPad -- both tools that have drastically helped me with school.

Yes I could write in notebooks, which I do sometimes, and yes I could study and take notes on paper printouts of articles and textbooks, which I also do sometimes, but they are not as efficient. Particularly when I have to carry around multiple textbooks or hundreds of pages worth of articles for a study session.

While I'd probably do fine if Apple or the Mac/iPad didnt exist, or I'd have these same sentiments toward some other company in a world where Apple never existed, but as it stands now, I'm genuinely thankful for the Mac and iPad.

 

[jz0309]

My Macs, iPhone and AW.
Next year I will most likely upgrade my 2017 iMac depending on what is being offered.
And the rumored headset is a definite no-go for me, even if it were <1k

 

[aidler]

I use a lot of Apple products and obviousely I like them, but I'm not thankful. I payed a lot of money for them and I'm certainly not thankful to Apple for extorting the outrageous amounts they charge for their products out of me.

 

[pdaholic]

I’m thankful that I have a job that enables me to afford apple products. And most thankful for my family.

 

[ColdShadow]

Mac
specifically iMac
And I’ve been a gaming PC enthusiast and owner for many years too.

 

[japanime]

The Nike+iPod kit (and all of its iterations up to today's baked-in Apple Watch support). That little shoe sensor and iPod nano combo changed my life.
