Worldwide Apple Watch sales exceed 100 million units, but only 10% of iPhones actually use it

According to analyst Neil Cybart, the number of Apple Watch sales in the world has surpassed 100 million units. This doesn’t mean 100 million people already own an Apple Watch.

However, it is understandable that there are about 100 million Apple Watch units in use worldwide. According to the analysis, after Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE and Apple Fitness + in December 2020, the official figures surpassed this number.

Apple Watch has been around for more than 6 years in the market. In 2020 alone, the company recorded more than 30 million new users. The sales record in 2020 even surpassed the records of 2015, 2016 and 2017 combined.

However, the analyst also asserted that not many iPhone users use Apple Watch . By the end of 2020, about 10% of iPhone users are wearing an Apple Watch

Considering the different needs of iPhone users, this rate is very high. Since the US is home to Apple and is quite fond of the Apple Watch, it is not surprising that Apple Watch sales in the US tend to increase significantly. By the end of 2020, about 35% of iPhone users in the US are wearing an Apple Watch.

While this may seem small, in terms of future scalability and the number of more than 1 billion active iPhones globally, these are great numbers. The research also shows that the AppleWatch is currently Apple’s fourth largest product. Its sales importance is second only to the iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it is estimated that by 2022, the Apple Watch will overtake the Mac.

One of the reasons Apple Watch users increasingly use it is because people want to search for wearables that help personalize better technology.

Apple Watch is popular with the masses of consumers because it possesses many attractive technological elements. It also offers many unique features like activity tracking and vital health markers. Not to mention the integration of Apple’s ecosystem that allows consumers to integrate and connect Apple Watch with other Apple products and services.

The reason many people today like the Apple Watch is because it can handle some tasks that only powerful devices like the iPhone and iPad can handle. The new Apple Watch design also has no inherent limitations. This helps Apple Watch have a life of its own and easily dominate the wearable market thanks to Apple’s reputation.

Looking to the future, Neil Cybart predicts that with efforts to add new features to Apple, Apple Watch sales will see greater growth.
