      How many Apple devices is reasonable in a condo you've recently moved into? Is 20 a lot? Is the number higher if you have 3 passports and 9 antique rugs?

          iTouch has no pesky IMEI call-outs to cell towers?

          I think that's right. So fewer call records for things like Signal.

          Could be they’re counting different kinds of iPods separately (Nano vs. Shuffle or whatevs).

          Yeah, some are Touches. But that doesn't explain the 2 v 1 discrepancy.

          I have 6 that I'm using daily. The oldest one is from 2010. They continue to work for a long time, so you can strew them around the house and always have a device handy.

          Doesn't seem all that weird to me, except the iPods. Unless he broke then and just never threw them out. When they come for me, everyone will freak out because I own 7 or 8 Windows CE devices
