The spark for all of this Apple nostalgia is the company's 50th anniversary, which is on April 1. We still don't know exactly how Apple will celebrate on the day, but there will be some uncharacteristic reminiscing.

"In the coming weeks, Apple and its global community will celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, recognizing the creativity, innovation, and impact that people around the world have made possible with Apple technology," Apple CEO Tim Cook said on March 12.

We'll be joining the celebrations by both lauding and poking fun at Apple here on TechRadar. But for now, it's time to settle that important 'best Apple gadget ever' debate — so get voting, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below too.
