A few days ago we saw the news of our colleague Nacho, in which he commented on the interest of users in the new AirPods compared to the company's new watches, the Apple Watch. Then the result seemed clear for the new Apple AirPods, the wireless headphones. Apple has been selling the smart watch for a long time, specifically it was presented on September 9, 2014 and went on sale on April 24, 2015 in the United States.
Regarding the sales data, they are not officially known and it is that Apple has not made an official statement to date, but analysts insist on forecasting them even to say that these are not good as the data of the well-known analyst Ming Chi Kuo.
Kuo, warn that sales of the new Apple watch are between 15 and 25% below the same of last year despite the changes and improvements that the Apple Watch adds. This well-known analyst has been correct on numerous occasions with his predictions, but has also failed many others. In the case of Apple watches, it does not seem that we are ever going to have official sales figures as they do with iPhones or Macs, so analysts jump into predictions.
On the other hand, it is normal that sales of new watches today are somewhat stagnant and that does not mean that it is necessary to think that sales of the same are in free fall, simply that users who have the first version of the watch do not We believe that they will change to the next version if they do not get a good price from their device and it is that making an investment of this caliber is not something that everyone can do every year. In addition to the sales of the new iPhone, the possible arrival of the new MacBook Pro, the users who will launch for the AirPods and others, they prevent users from launching during the first weeks to purchase the Apple Watch Series 2.
It is evident that the improvements are important in this second version of the watch and everything starts with the processor of the watch, GPS and ending with water resistance, but those of us who have the first version of the watch and have seen the new life of this with watchOS 3We're in no rush to switch to one of these Series 2s either, are we?
