Apple Reaches 2.5 Billion Active Devices as India Becomes Growth Market

Apple's ecosystem now includes about 2.5 billion active devices worldwide, Tim Cook said during the company's fiscal 2026 first-quarter earnings call. The figure covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and other products, and is described as a milestone for the Cupertino company.

The earnings call highlighted a record revenue of $143.7 billion for Q1 2026, driven largely by the iPhone family, which generated $85.3 billion, up 23 percent year on year. Services posted an all-time revenue high of $30.01 billion, while Mac revenue declined due to a tough comparison with last year's launches. iPad revenue was $8.60 billion, and wearables, including the latest Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra, reached $11.49 billion.

Cook noted that the iPhone contributed to a large chunk of active devices and that Apple relies on an ecosystem of products that work with the iPhone to sustain growth.

The 2.5 billion figure for active devices marks a significant milestone, Cook said while revealing the company's fiscal 2026 first-quarter results (via CNBC).

Earlier, Apple cited numbers showing 2.35 billion active devices in January 2025, up from 2.2 billion in 2024. Officials involved characterized the quarter as strong, with continued emphasis on the ecosystem approach across devices and services.

CNBC covered the earnings call details, with executives outlining the breadth of Apple's product and service reach during the period.
