In its Q1 2023 earnings, Apple shared an important detail on how many of its devices are currently active. According to CEO Tim Cook, the company’s user base continues to grow as Apple now has 2 billion devices active worldwide.
The last time Apple shared this information, it had 1.8 billion models, adding more than 200 million devices in the past 12 months. Interestingly enough, even with supply chain issues over the last months, the company had an impressive installed base growth. For comparison, since 2019, it has been increasing by around 100-150 million new devices per year.
That said, Apple doubled from 1 billion to 2 billion active devices in just seven years. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and CFO Lucas Maestri say this milestone is due to customer satisfaction and loyalty, along with a record number of customers switching from PCs and Android devices.
