Lol this was way back in 2011, so the 4S was already out, but I was living on the cheap, so was reluctant to spend the extra on the new 4S. After that, I upgraded to the 4S, then the 6S, then the 10R, and finally the 14 Pro, which is what I'm using now.

Thanks,
Shersey

I've only had one iOS device to date, and that is an iPhone Seven. I'm going for my second iPhone very soon. I guess that says something, doesn't it? Yep, I fell in love at least with my current phone. Sure there might be issues here and there, but it is a great piece of technology not only for all that it can do but also for the portability factor. I think I've gotten to the point where I can do almost everything on it these days. Well perhaps not *everything* but you get my point. I'm so looking forward to my next one.

A friend had given me his old iPad, I can't remember whether it was the first or second generation. I think that was back in 2012 or early 2013. Right after that, I bought the iPhone 5.

Summer of '12. Running iOS 5.1.1. This seems like a lifetime ago, but my favorite apps in iOS 5 were the built in YouTube app and Google Maps.

I still think Google Maps is better than Apple Maps.

What? Don't judge me. . . 🤨

3GS up to now a 12 until I decide if they're worth it. For the kid on the seven, good luck without the home button, it might freak you out. seriously it's not that bad and I'm glad it's gone. One less thing to worry about getting something in it by accident. Never damaged an IOS device, a Mac though? Umm birthday beer, boom!! No, i was not intoxicated beforehand. It was called elbow, turning to talk to someone oh shit! sorry but that's what I said. As for the person using the 13 mini, why are you worried about a small phone? We don't know Apple might not change it's mind, again, and put out a 16 or perhaps your hands can fit the 16 comfortably. Google's just smarter then s iri so I hope Apple's finally going to really put some work into it. I'm sick of it just not understanding simple things. Oo gotta go, friend's walking up the path. Nice topic.

Mine was an iPhone 6 a friend bought for me in 2018. I used it until last summer, switching to an iPhone SE 2022 (3rd gen.). Both models are small in size, which is what I prefer. Let's hope that when I must upgrade again, there will still be small iPhones to choose from.

I think it was the one you play music but no VO, It had a wheel in the middle and you move it. From that I got the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 6, 7, Xs, 11 pro max, 12 pro and 13 pro, iPad 9, airPod pro, Airtags, and that it.

My first iOS device was the iPod Touch that first supported Voiceover. I think it was the 3rd gen. It still had the 30-pin connector. I still use that device with a docking boom box to listen to music and radio stations.

I phone 8. Apple truly has the best accessibility out there.

My first iOS product was an iPod Touch in 2009. My first iPhone was my dad's iPhone 4s back in 2013, because he got a work phone.

I got my very first Apple toy, a 64 GB silver iPhone 5s on October 10 of 2013. It was a great little phone, and I loved its size and the fact that there was no ginormous camera bump. I currently have a Sierra blue iPhone 13 pro, and unless something happens and Apple can eliminate, or at least significantly reduce the size of the camera bump, I have no intention of gett ing a new phone until my current device is no longer supported or there's a vitally important accessibility feature that my current phone can't support. I feel pretty much the same about my apple watch ultra. I intend to keep it until it's no longer supported, or until there's an extremely compelling reason to upgrade.

My first Apple device was the iPod nano fourth generation, followed by my first touch device the iPod touch fifth generation which introduced me to being able to get an iPhone 5s for the longest time I’ve had that then I upgraded to an iPhone 8+, and now I have an iPhone 14.

This was my first Iphone back in 2011. The shape was so nice. Since then, I have had 5S, 6, and now SE 2020.

I had the 3gs, the first iPhone to get Voiceover. Also had the first iPad. Went from the 3gs to the 4, then the 5, later the 8, xs max, one of the SEs, and now rocking the 13 Pro, as well as an iPad pro.

I miss its design. It was quite heavy and would make me think it was made out of some metallic material and quite difficult to damage. Now we have way faster monsters in our pockets but those years when durability was a priority, appear to be gone. Anyway, I used two iPhone 6S's after that, the second one of which was sent to me from Apple after I sent the first one to Apple and reported an issue that they couldn't fix at all. After that I had an iPhone SE2 (AKA SE 2020), and then the SE3 (AKA SE 2022) that I am still using.

I had an iPhone 4, then went into Android for a bit. My first iOS device that I used with VoiceOver is my current iPhone 13 Pro Max. I went back to iOS after I had to use an iPhone 12 for work and couldn't see the screen so was forced to learn VoiceOver. If you will excuse the poor choice of words, that was a real eye opener.

I did have one of those ipods with the click wheel thing but I think it would be a stretch to call that iOS.

I started out with an iPod touch, fourth generation, then moved up to an iPhone 4s, then a 5s when the wifi chip in my 4s picked a bad time to croak. Now I use an iphone SE second generation and an iPad miny sixth generation.

I really thought that was fantastic, with the aluminium back and so on. My first iPhone was a 4, thence to a 4S, a 5S, a dear old 7 which got nicked on the Tube and then somehow returned to me (extraordinary, that), an 8, an SE2020 and now a 13 - not a 13 pro. I did get an iPad Pro in 2016, the 9.7 inch one, which I thought was about the right size. I am not sure I wil upgrade my iPad as it turned out I used it for relatively few things.

My first iOS device was an iPhone 4S in Aug of 2013. Since then, I've had the 5S,6S, 10R, and now have the 12. I intend to keep this phone until it becomes unusable for some reason.

I believe I had an iPod shuffle first. Then a Nanno. Followed by an iPhone 4s maybe?
