I assume they mean major products like iPod/iPhone/computer/iPad, not monitors and so forth.
We're probably all beyond this chart. I own more than 5.
Just mentioning in passing: Thunderbolt Monitor $999 > iPhone, iPad, or iPod

The sample size DOES seem low to be giving regional and income bracket breakdowns though. The margin of error on those would be much higher.
Hah... we have 10 Apple products in our household.![]()
I, a poor college student, have 4 devices. (Thats what i spend all my summer salaries on lol). If i include the rest of my family we have 8 total. This of course doesn't include all the apple stuff my dad keeps in our basement because its sentimental. apple 2, 2c, 3 printers, and a bunch of other things that he's never taken out to show me before.
Off topic here but why doesn't apple make printers anymore??
Apple technically never made printers. The Laserwriter Select 360 was HP guts rebranded as an Apple. The Imagewriter was a rebranded C. Itoh product. One of the most important things Apple learned from the 90s was to strip down and focus on the core competencies.
As for the primary article, I think this underscores my point I've made in several discussions about Apple's future cash flow potential that available share of wallet is shrinking.... I know, I know, China's a huge market. Yes and no... they spend about 1/15th what the US does on electronics despite almost twice the population. What that means is that Apple will continue to be profitable and turn out strong results, but their growth rate will shrink as a mathematical inevitability even if their marginal revenue still increases.
Correction: 4.3 times the US population
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population)
But regardless, I get your point that the US still spend more on electronics.
My mistake... been a long day. Wizard with Excel, terrible with math in my head (for that reason). Corrected my original post.
Kinda surprising. I would've thought that with the iPod's domination of the MP3 player market, the number would be quite higher.
