By 2014, I remember comments from friends who claimed that Apple was going to be late to the market of smart watches. But if we look back in time will find that the company which runs Tim Cook is not characterized by launching new products, if not improve what exists and turn it into a trend. This is something that has last with the Apple Watch, a watch smart that came a couple of years after others but that has got carry is the cat to the water with much difference with regard to its competition.
Until the presentation and subsequent launch of Apple Watch, the smartwatches market still had not disappeared and did not seem to do so. The situation changed once Apple clock is put on sale, to sell a total of 19.4 million watches smart in 2015 and with a forecast of 20.1 million in 2016, a 3.9% increase over the previous year. Despite them many models different of watches smart that there are available in the market, the Apple Watch is the preferred by the great majority of users e IDC believes that this trend will continue to equal until 2020.
The Apple Watch has a great future for front
According to IDC, the second generation of the Apple smart clock has made many users we decided to buy one of their watches, but this has not been the most widespread case. What has been more important to convince to many users is the decline in the price of the first model, attached to the arrival of a processor SP1 that promises to improve the performance of the first model of Apple Watch.
On the other hand, IDC also relies on that watchOS continue to dominate the market for several years, something to which will contribute new models with different designs and mobile connectivity that will make that we can leave the iPhone at home, for example, while we do outdoor sports free.
Personally, I’d be surprised that IDC accurate in their forecasts for a simple reason: price. I not am analyst, but if we look to the share of market world of devices mobile, see that Android dominates with more than one 85%. 4 years me seems much time to not pass it itself in the market of them watches smart. What do you think?
