More than half of all US households own an Apple product

Apple has hit the tipping point: 51% of all households in the United States own an Apple product. That means, according to CNBC’s polling information, some 55 million American homes own an iOS device, or a Mac computer.

The average US household owns some 1.6 Apple devices. Here’s the chart showing off the results of the survey:
