Did you know that over 2 billion people are now using Apple hardware products like iPhones, iPads, and Macs? This milestone marks a new era of technology where people have increasingly relied on devices like these to stay connected, work, and play.

Apple was moving quickly toward the 2 billion marks because it had just hit 1.8 billion active devices a year before. This was thanks to record sales of devices in 2021, which helped the company avoid supply chain problems caused by the pandemic.
The news comes as Apple reports its earnings for the first quarter, which show how well it did during the holiday season.
