Apple makes a lot of gadgets. Most of them are very good! You’d frankly be hard-pressed to find a company with a better track record, especially across so many categories. But only one Apple gadget can be the best Apple gadget, and it’s time for us to decide which one it is.
On this episode of noti.groupcast, noti.group’s Victoria Song and Allison Johnson join David to come up with a definitive ranking of Apple’s best gadgets. (We did this with Google’s gadgets a few months ago, in case you missed it.) In this case, “best” is defined quite broadly: it includes a product’s inherent quality, the quality of its competition, its cultural and economic relevance, the size of its target market, and many other things. Best is not an exact science.
We started with a list of products, in no particular order, mostly lifted straight from Apple’s own website:
Our job, as always, was to put those nine products in their correct order. After more than an hour of arguing, debating, and occasional name-calling, though, we came up with a list we (more or less) agreed on.
We want to know what you think! What did we get right? What did we get wrong? Whose picks do you agree with most? You can leave us a comment here, call the Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11, or drop us an email at [email protected]. This was a tough one, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, if you want to know more about all the products we debate, here are some links to get you started:
