Ipod was my first.
Best is the M1 MacBook Air. I loved how powerful/fast it was while having basically all day battery life. But at least for me, as a Windows user, it was missing a ton of productivity stuff that I did on Windows all the time. Not to mention, I couldn’t use some apps that were Windows only like Solidworks. Not supporting MST for monitors still pisses me off lol
I have never owned an apple product
The answer to both is iPod Classic.
My first was a printer I got from my uncle, Apple LaserWriter II NT.
The best is my current laptop, MacBook Air which I bought in 2017 and still use daily.
iMac G3, Keynote (software)
An Apple II+ was my first Apple product. My Apple ][GS was the best.
It all went down hill from there into the dumpster.
The only apple product I ever owned was an old ipod touch (couldn’t tell you what gen) I got from a pawn shop. I loved it at that time. Since it’s the only apple product I have ever owned, it’s the best product of theirs I have owned.

Gotta be the Macintosh SE my dad brought home in… 1986’ish?
Now THAT was a real Mac, real user friendly. Downhill since then.
We had a Mac 128k growing up. I’ve flirted with the ecosystem since, but really don’t enjoy their software and walled garden. From an engineering standpoint, my M1 Macbook Air 2020 is pretty much everything I want aside from the keyboard. But damn if I can’t wait to get back to Linux.
iPod Nano 3rd gen 4GB that someone left on the subway.
-End of the list-
iPhone 4 I think it was and hated it from the moment I got it until the moment it died from falling from less than 2 foot on the floor. I will never own another Apple product.
First (and only for over a decade) would be iPod shuffle. Best is my M1 Air. Absolutely ridiculous how much battery life and performance you can get out of it. Starting to wish I’d gotten more than 8 GB of memory (curiously, bloated JetBrains IDEs run fine, web browsers cause more issues) so I might pass it on to my mom when M3 comes out and upgrade to 16 or 32 GB.
An iPod with the scroll wheel and I installed an aftermarket OS on it to enable ogg and FLAC support. First and only apple product I owned.
I’m a proud owner of none apple product. All my life and it will stay that way lol.
