You know you're a big company when 3.5 billion USD is less than 1% of your total annual revenue.

  The numbers are mind boggling. Airpods alone does more revenue than Twitter, Spotify, and Square combined [1]. And that was back in 2020.. [1] https://www.acumenfinancial.co.uk/advice/airpods-revenue-vs-top-tech-companies/ https://www.acumenfinancial.co.uk/advice/airpods-revenue-vs-...

    I wanted to love Airpods, but the fall out of my ears, even when I'm sitting still. The linked article doesn't mention Beats By Dre, so I'm guessing Beats sales are not included in that $23B/year number. I wonder what is the annual for Beats. I bought a pair of the Powerbeats Pro that go over the ear & I quite like them.

      > but the fall out of my ears, I guess it's just how true-wireless headphones work. It is designed for most common shaped ears. And if your ear did not meet it. All you can do is finding something else.

      > but the fall out of my ears, even when I'm sitting still. That's mind boggling to me. I basically have mine in 24/7 including my daily run and while I am sleeping. They basically never fall out of my ears, and they somehow made them so comfortable that I don't even notice them and have a mini panic attack when I see they're not in the case.
