> No one knew they wanted an iMac, iPod, or an iPad. Except people had created iPod- and iPad-similar devices before Apple entered the markets. The demand was clearly there. > iPod sold more units in one year than the entire history of Apple Watch. Since Apple don't break out sales figures of the Watch, any comparison here is going to be guesswork but, depending on whether you trust UBS numbers[1] or not, that claim will be voided at some point in 2019 (best guesstimates I could find are 17M in 2017, 24M in 2018, predicted 33M in 2019 which would eclipse the best iPod year of 55M[2]) Also this a fairly silly comparison - the iPod is a standalone non-luxury item; the Watch is a (fairly) tethered luxury item. It's, uh, apples to oranges.
