"We are also excited to announce that our installed base now has more than 2.5 billion active devices, which is a testament to incredible customer satisfaction for the very best products and services in the world," said Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a press release announcing the company's record-breaking earnings results.

It shows that Apple has a massive opportunity to sell services, ranging from Apple Music subscriptions to iCloud+ storage plans to the all-new Apple Creator Studio bundle with Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, and more apps.

Apple hardware is just built well - much better than their competitors and the devices get software updates many years following the initial purchase. Sometimes even software updates over a decade after the product’s release!

The number of actively used Apple Accounts would be a more meaningful number IMO. I have seven devices registered under my account, not counting one Pair of AirPods. I bet some users have even more devices per account.

But it's an impressive achievement for sure. Probably the largest number they could come up with for the IR call.

That's a staggering number of 'devices' however you define it. And they're pushing monthly fees on all of them too - juicy post-sale revenue.
