iPhone 16 Pro

i know, i know... pelt me with tomatoes all you want. i really wanted the iPhone Air because of how it reminded me of the nostalgic, older iPhone era (it also is more pleasing to look at aesthetically), but camera quality is a big thing for me when looking for a phone, and the iPhone Air does not meet that expectation. this is because i travel frequently, and appreciate high-res photos to look back on my trips with. i also didn't get the Pro Max because 1) it's more expensive and 2) my hands are quite small, so the extraneous weight and size would bother me... unfortunately, having an apple phone limits my ability to emulate, sideload, and mod when compared to an android user, but i make it work!

Apple Watch Series 7

sometimes i feel like i'm missing out on the traditional watch life but then i remember traditional watches can't display timmy timepiece on a manual watch face *smirk* i currently use the infograph watch face with watchsmith widgets all over, so it looks super nice while being simple enough to read clearly. i would include a picture, but... just trust me on this one.

iPod Touch 4th Generation

HOOOOOOOOOLY nostalgia. it's still got a jack port in the bottom left (who remembers when apple devices had the jack port?!) and everything. i even had an inch-long stylus tip for it. nowadays, the battery runs out very fast, so i have to constantly keep it plugged in if i want to use it. i mainly just use it to play audio in my room while i sleep.

• storage: 6.4GB
• RAM: 256MB
• operating system: iOS 6.1.6

iPhone 6

another nostalgic piece. this was actually not originally mine; it belonged to one of my old coworkers before it was given to me. but it was only recently that i finally found it (after a long search) and was able to revive it... only to find out that it refuses to connect to the internet (despite my older iPod being able to). at least its charging port is the same as my iPod's. this time, the jack port is on the top right.

• storage: 13.5GB
• RAM: 1GB
• operating system: iOS 12.5.8

iPad Pro 13-inch

i loooooooooove my iPad. i purposely got a larger one because... well, because i use it for note-taking, drawing, comic/traditional reading, video editing, and movie watching. those experiences are generally a lot better with a larger screen size (especially the drawing and editing). i was also afraid that a smaller iPad size would be too much like an iPhone (making the purchase redundant), but i don't know, maybe that's an out-of-touch thing to say.

• storage: 256GB
• RAM: 8GB
• operating system: iOS 26.5

Apple Pencil Pro

obviously if i'm taking notes and drawing on my iPad, i need a stylus to go with it! this pencil is not one of the ones that have a charging end; it only charges via magnet-sticking to the top of my iPad. i consider this a good thing because the pencils with charging ends have to awkwardly stick out of the iPad's port for however long it takes to charge, whereas mine can just sit atop it, making it easier to put away.

Macbook Pro 14”

a lot of people think windows is the superior choice when it comes to choosing a computer, but i'll have to play devil's advocate and say that mac is superior. maybe i'm heavily biased but whatever. the windows chips are notoriously inferior to apple's, and the finder file explorer is a lot easier to navigate and work with than windows'. not to mention that windows' new copilot takes an unnecessary amount of effort to get rid of that the average windows user isn't going to take. and this isn't to overly glaze apple or whatever, this has just been my personal experience because i've worked long-term on windows before.

• storage: 1TB
• RAM: 16GB
• operating system: macOS 26.5

Nintendo DS Lite

let's just get the bragging out of the way... i modded this. *smirk* BUT! i was able to mod it in such a way that i can play not just DS games, but also NES, GBA, and GBC games. it's amazing! and, by emulating windows (see the software section), i was able to install a DS program someone made to make it a traditional iPod! with the scrolling wheel and everything. i had to have windows to do this because the installer and file insertion was not compatible with mac (like songs would NOT work on the DS ipod unless i specifically added them through windows)... which i GUESS is a con to macs in the debate of mac vs windows, but there are ways around it! so my point still stands.

• color: blue

R4 Cartridge

this is the thing that allowed me to mod my DS. it has a little space to put a microSD card, which is where all the games will go. this makes it so you no longer have to switch out cartridges everytime you want to play a game; they're all in one unit! the edition i specifically got avoids this "time bomb" issue, which is basically when the games in the cartridge stop booting after a certain time, and you have to "rewind" the time your console is set to fix it.

• 2025 edition
• compatible with the DS, 2DS, and 3DS

AirFly

basically it's a jack port that can connect to (up to 2) bluetooth headphones, making it so you can use wireless headphones to hardware that isn't bluetooth-compatible. i use this to connect my AirPods to my DS, as well as airplane flight screens. this is particularly useful in loud environments that require the noise cancellation my headphones provide.

Apple EarPods

these are the wired earbuds that apple originally had in the olden days, but they still sell them to be compatible with newer ports. they are usually my first choice when it comes to headphones because i find them way more comfortable than AirPods long-term, and can even sleep with them on without issue. so you'll usually find me wearing them by default. i also enjoy how the in-line remote can pause, go back/forward, and adjust volume at about your collar, unlike AirPods that require you to reach all the way up your ear to do the same things. it's a lot more convenient in that sense. a con, though, is that the audio input works for EVERYTHING except computer notifications. for some reason, computer notifications ALWAYS play from the speakers and not the EarPods.

• cable: USB-C and 3.5mm audio jack

Apple AirPods Pro

i only use these when noise cancellation is necessary to enjoy my music to the fullest extent. like i said, they're a bit uncomfortable after some time and i have to take them off for a few minutes after an hour or two of use before resuming. i don't know if this is a me issue, but when it hurts after i take them off, it also hurts when i turn my head. very uncomfortable.

Apple AirPods Max

i'm gonna be honest, i barely use this because of the pain it incites in my outer ears after some time, which is a shame because of how high-quality it is. additionally, because i got the white/cream color, the silicone band connecting the earpieces stained over time! and i can't seem to get rid of it, either... :(

Dell 32 Curved FHD Monitor - S3222HN

great for working at my desk. it made more sense than getting an iMac because i'd rather have the same tabs and place where i left off than have to deal with a whole other set of things... the con is that the MacBook microphone disconnects and you have no audio input until you put on headphones. another con is that, when connecting my Switch to this monitor, the audio output doesn't work because i didn't get speakers with the monitor, so i'm just playing in silence.

Magic Keyboard

i use this when my mac is plugged into my DELL monitor. this is the ONLY modern device i own left that takes a Lightning cable. everything else is USB-C. it's a sign of progress, in my opinion, because of how much more universal USB-C chargers are, unlike lightning cables which were exclusive to apple products. you know what isn't a sign of progress? apple taking out the jack ports! but anyway. because i have an older keyboard, it doesn't have the touch id thingy that other Magic Keyboards have. and you may think it's no big deal... but imagine that you're logging into a platform and your password manager pops up, prompting you to click it to automatically input your username and password. but uh oh! becasue there's no touch id available, you actually have to put in your mac password before the password manager can input your password for the website. this defeats the point of the password manager, which is to get you to avoid inputting as many passwords as possible. at most, it's mildly annoying, but still...

• color: silver
• port: Lightning

Magic Mouse

again, i use this with the DELL monitor. the con is that the USB-C port is under the mouse, so you can't use it while it's charging. luckily it lasts long enough to where you could plan out a time to charge it when you're not using it, and then not have to deal with that for another month or two. i also really like it because i can sidescroll without having to hold shift, like i had to with another mouse i used to use (i believe it was lenovo?).

• color: silver
• port: USB-C

Anker MagGo Power Bank

magsafe portable charger. i really like how it has a metal piece you can move out to stand itself (and hence my phone) up. i also like the mini-screen indicating its own percentage and the time it will take to charge my phone/itself.

• 15W wireless charging
• color: buds green

Anker Prime Power Bank (27K)

another portable charger, but with one USB-A port and two USB-C ports. it only has enough juice to charge my computer up to 75%, which is not ideal but usually sufficient enough for mid-day battery drainage recovery. i also like the screen on this one, too.

• 250W multi-device wired charging

NumWorks graphing calculator

i use this enough to where this page would be incomplete without it. i was able to snag it from holland when i visited, and it's everything the TI-84 wishes it could be; the new model is literally a COPY of NumWorks! i was able to download a few games onto mine, as well, including flappy bird, the snake game, and a game a penpal of mine made himself! overall, the NumWorks is something i cherish dearly.
