What two Apple products compliment each other the best, and why?

Only two!

iPhone + MacBook?
iPhone + AirPods?
iPad + Apple Pencil?
Etc etc etc…

Of all the combinations of devices, accessories, etc., which do you find create something that’s greater than the sun of its (two) parts?

This is purely for fun – I’m just curious what you all think.

For me, I think it’s my MacBook and iPhone.

The way handoff works, copy on phone and paste on the Mac, messages integration, etc. It’s just a really great tie-in of two separate devices that become so intertwined when used together!

iPhone and Apple Watch.

iPhone Mini and a desktop Mac.


Both the iPhone Mini and desktop Mac, that covers most situations for me.

For me, the trade offs of using the "multi-use" devices, such as a Max-sized iPhone or a laptop isn't worth it.

For example, for me, the large iPhones are not as good one handed, which is the majority of my iPhone use, making it a pain for one-handed mobile use, but not as good as an iPad if I used two hands, and definitely not as good as a Mac. Also, being able to fit my phone in my back pants and jacket pockets is important.

As for something like the MacBook Pro, they come with a beautiful display, but it is too small for my needs. While I could just use it in clamshell mode, the added cost of the display could have been used for a higher spec desktop Mac.

If I could add an ATV to the iPhone Mini, and desktop Mac, that would really be all I need from Apple.

Greater than the sum of its two parts?
Then probably iPad + Apple Pencil. Together, they open up a whole new use case that the iPad on its own is not capable at all.

I would say any two Apple products that have Siri, as she would be capable of giving compliments.
