Is it really derogatory?
It seems to that the term covers the hardware associated with iOS and doesn't imply anything one way or another about the company which manufactures it.
It is not as if there is just one "iPhone" and one "iPod" and one "iPad". There are diverse models of each and little point in being pedantic over all the retinas and 2' and 3's and 4's and GS's and plain old S's and mini's and nano's when the important point is that one cluster of them is required to use the product.
