My current ecosystem is iPhone 14 Pro, Watch SE 2, AirPods Pro 2, 2020 iPad Pro 12.9”, and 14” MacBook Pro with M1 Pro
From 2019 until this September I only had iPhone (6, then 8).
Then in September I got iPhone 13 Pro, then 15 Pro, Apple Watch S8, iPad Air, and AirPods. I’m probably not taking full advantage of the ecosystem, but I love how seamless everything is. Yesterday I figured out that pinch to copy thing I keep seeing on TikToks so that has been fun to play around with.

I feel pretty old. My first Mac was a dumpster find in 1996. I joined a Mac user group, mowed lawns and saved up and bought an iBook in 2000. Then went to Macworld expo that same year and every year until 2010. I bought things as they came out. iPod. Airport base station, iSight camera. Started working at Apple in 2004. Still stood in line for the iPhone because I love the camaraderie. I’ve slowed way down on Apple spending and skipped some generations of devices but still own an iPhone, iPad and MacBook. So really the build up came as a result of Apple releasing new devices.
I’ve kept every box since 2006 this is a few of them.
I really miss the iSight camera. iSigh.
Airpods - 2017
Airpods Pro - 2020
Airpods Pro 2 - 2022
Iphone 15 Pro - 2023
I’m brand agnostic so I’m not really in it it for whatever ecosystem. I just care about each individual device ad if it’s the best for my needs or not. That said, guess it took a year or two? I don’t own most the stuff you said though. Just a couple of apple products for the “ecosystem” I care about.
I find ecosystems to be overrated and other brands have competitive ecosystes or whatevs themselves so I don’t actively pursue that. If apple has best products in enough areas they get my money. Otherwise, I continue having the best experience by buying the best products regardless of brand.
iPhone 3G in 2008 and basically iPhone ever year since. Had an iPad from 2010 until 2016 and only just purchased a new one this year. I have a Watch, AirPods, and an ATV that I’m not super fond of except for HomeKit.
I’ve had MacBooks over the years, but I don’t like macOS and although the M series is great, I can get a more useful PC laptop for the price (I play PC games).
I try not to rely too heavily on iCloud though - OneDrive/Office for most files, Google Photos for my photo library. iCloud is too much ecosystem lock-in for me.
like 4 months. iPhone, watch, iPad, MacBook all cuz I work at apple.
