The population of the USA is 350M+ with only 1.5M considered homeless (2009).
In 2007 it was estimated that the USA had 112M households. Surely 5 years later that number has grown.
Survey says, that the vast majority of the device owners live on the west cost and that it takes all the rest of the country almost to equal them. Looks like the rest of us outside California aren't into them that much.
All I can say is, that is a huge fan club for a single country. This is the country where Apple makes the vast majority of its money. As do most tech company's.

Yeah I suppose a lot of households own at least one of their devices. In my household we own several Apple devices including computers. Some are owned by different members of the household.
It would be interesting to know of that percentage of households owning Apple devices, how many own competitive brands, as well.

Yeah good thing you added when is that population from (2009). The current population, according to the US Census bureau, is 313,266,844 (2012). That's a difference of more than 36m. Oh and the people that surveyed 836 Americans was CNBC. You might want to check how they did their survey before making conclusions.

Just goes to show you can fool most of the people most of the time.
I'm assuming that you are referring to those who do not own Apple devices. Perhaps it would be better to allow folks to make their own choices without outside criticism.

"Around half of all U.S. households own at least one Apple product"
"The survey shows the main buyers of Apple gear tend to be male, college-educated, younger and richer: 77 percent of those earning more than $75,000 a year own at least one Apple product"
Soo, by my calculations that would make around 40% of the entire US male, college-educated, young and earning more than $75,000 a year.. that doesn't seem right, does it?
Joking aside, I'm willing to bet a huge percentage of the total devices are iPods. That being said, I'm actually surprised the percentage of households having one isn't larger.

Wait.. they only surveyed 836 people?
That explains a lot.

836 is a fairly reasonable sample size: at ~50% hit rate, it has an error margin of around 3.39% at a standard 95% confidence level. Whether it was a representative sample is the question.
Quality of a sample size is not greatly affected by population size, unless the sample size is more than a few percent of the population size (which it very much isn't here).
If I dispute one single point in a post, that should not be taken as an indication that I agree/disagree with any other point made by that poster or anyone else in the thread. Or anywhere else. Ever.

I wonder how many people jump to these forums without reading the article?

I'm probably an outlier even among multiple Apple product households.
Wife - iPad Nano, iPhone 4S and original iPad
Me - 27" iMac, new iPad, AppleTV and Mac Mini
How did it all start? When my Vista laptop tried to update the Vista Service Pack, but locked up and wouldn't restart. That prompted me to build a Hackintosh. Up until then I had never owned any Apple products, although one could argue a Hackintosh didn't really qualify either.

836 is reasonable. As long as it wasn't 836 people from the same area. I mean they might have done this survey 10 feet from an Apple store.
