The watch debuted to a backlog of orders and 3.6 million units were shipped in its first three months on the market. But sales plummeted to just 1.6 million in the latest quarter, according to IDC. That's in spite of a price discount.
If you do the math - that's actually closer to 45% than 55%, but who really cares, right? Which is interesting to know because:
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) does not break out separate sales figures for its Apple Watch and did not respond to requests for comment on the IDC report.
I think the media are always looking to try and topple the Apple hype machine so when they get something like this, they go running around crowing about how this is finally going to sink Apple.
