AirPods alone generate five times as much revenue as Spotify, and about two-thirds as much as Netflix. Apple is also the world’s biggest watchmaker.
When some of Apple’s side-quests are industry giants in their own right, I think it’s fair to say that Apple are diversified.
- littlestymaar 2y agoThat's true but at the same time these are mostly I phones accessories. Should the iPhone fall out of fashion (which I don't expect but it's a thought experiment) then the sales of these products will decline as well, so is that really diversification?
- JimDabell 2y agoShould the iPhone fall out of fashion, Apple will make the Apple Watch compatible with whatever displaces it. AirPods are already usable as normal Bluetooth wireless earphones.
- aurareturn 2y agoAirpods are only popular because of the iPhone.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoIve compared airpods to competitors and the airpods were clearly better imo. Sure they became popular because of the iPhone but theyre also just a competitive product.
- yread 2y agoEver tried using apple watch without an iPhone?
- bilbo0s 2y agoWell that's a knife that cuts 3 ways though. What I mean is, think about the addressable market comprised of the people who want to use the watch without iPhone. I think sometimes we underestimate the number of people out there who do not have an iPhone.
- paxys 2y agoThe vast, vast majority of Airpods are sold as an accessory to the iPhone. In fact they stopped including earbuds in the box for this exact reason.
