Around 21 billion
Background
There are about 21 billion internet-connected devices worldwide (as of 2025). That's 14 percent more than the year before. For comparison: in 2010, there were fewer than one billion. Most of them aren't phones. They're sensors in factories and smart meters. These invisible devices outnumber the ones you see every day.
