For me, the iPhone 4 (obviously the 4s as it had more power). When that phone came out, to me, Apple had really pushed the boat out and come up with a beautiful design which was really special. It feels solid in your hands. I liked the glass back in particular. I've owned everything from the original iPhone to the X, but still the design/shape/feel of the 4 stands out as the really special one.

Other specials, the original CRT iMac in various colours, the mac mini in its simplicity and upgradeability for such a small Apple mac (not to mention all the ports).

Another mention is the macbook pro. I worked in IT as a systems admin guy on enterprise support, the machine went everywhere, was in use 12 hours a day 7 days a week, every week of the year. Intense use. I used the black one before too (used macbook pro's since 2000). I was not gentle on these machines, and they put up with the abuse I gave them. Particular kudos to my 2012 one which is still in use today (though a backup machine so less used). It still runs everything at full tilt without a sweat on the current o/s. Looks great, works great, and is the embodiment of why it costs more to buy an Apple laptop over anything else. Seven years and still as good as new as far as I am concerned.

I've got the latest air, and that is certainly a beauty (could do with a chunkier processor though I think, it is slower than my 2012 macbook pro). Have now got used to the new butterfly keyboard for light day to day home use and it is fine. But, for intense work use, sorry Apple, the pre-butterfly keyboard is preferable.
