I am shocked at just how many things on this list that I owned or still do.

Thatās a good list. I only had a couple of the higher number items 100-to-30 but Thereās quite a lot of the sub-30ās items that I have or have had. Recent nostalgia!

My final tally is 21.
23 if you count the Galaxy S2 (an American variant was listed) and the iPhone XR (the iPhone X was listed) 
Iām happy to see the Dexcom G5 on the list. My sister uses it, is an ambassador for Dexcom and has modelled it for their print advertising. Itās made such a huge difference to her quality of life.

Am I the only person who owned a Zune? I loved that thing.
9 for me. I surprised myself, really. Iām also surprised the the iPhone 4 was number 1.
The cookie opt-out for that site is entirely objectionable. The alert box only gives you an accept button, you have to look at their cookie policy for how to opt out, and when you find the right part in the document it basically says āTurn off cookies in your browser LOLā. Disappointing.
That aside. The list!
I find it a curious choice to include mind-bogglingly awful failures in the list (Hello Juicero!). Theyāre largely going to be forgotten in short order, deservedly so. Failures on the level of the C5 or the Amstrad E-m@iler are rare indeed. The Juicero doesnāt get there, and the one notable gadget failure that will be memorable isnāt on the list - the Theranos Edison device.
Is the Mophie Juice Pack an American thing? I know hundreds of people who use external batteries for their phones, but none of them use an absurd oversided phone case with a battery inside it. 99% of them use Anker Powerbanks (also on the list! Some credibility regained).
I digress. So, turns out that my device count is: 15. 16, if my EFF sticker counts as a webcam cover. Some items were inherited rather than purchased by myself, but (among others, one Instant Pot, never used by me).
The Red camera should be higher. Not a consumer device at all, but my god it really was an absolutely game-changer.
Iām divided on the merits of USB-C. Good: you donāt have to remember which way up the cable is. Bad: the port is so large that itās easier to damage or clog it with lint (RIP my first phone with a USB-C port).
tl;dr, would appear I am quite contrary.

I had one for my iPhone 6, and loved it!
If you heard a loud āTHUDā and were wondering what it was, that was me falling over in shock.

I heard several loud THUDS when I had one. I dropped it onto concrete several times, and it protected the phone and still worked.

Yo Anarchist, Iām really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Anker had one of the best power banks of all timeā¦one of the best power banks of all time!

I think itās because in at least some of those examples, those failures reshaped the company roadmap or the wider tech scene as a whole. The Amazon Fire phone killed Amazonās entire plan of becoming phone centric, so they pivoted to being Alexa centric. And the HP Touchpad was the nail in the coffin for WebOS as a third challenger OS at a time when it was still possible for Android and iOS to not become a duopoly.

I have 4.
21, I had a 1080 instead of the 1070 so that should be 22.
Red camera shouldnāt be on the list.
This made me laugh! Isnāt that half the fun?
6 - to my absolute surprise. R-
20 (although thatās counting iPhone X and iPhone 4).
6 for me, although they are some of the more boring ones:
Chromecast (strangely still used a lot)
Fire TV stick (now redundant)
USB-C adapter (neccessity)
USB hub (though not Anka)
Power Pack (again not Anka)
USB-C (via new phone and chromebook)
