Last week Apple CEO said that he will not reveal sales figures of the Apple Watch, because this information is “sensitive” from the point of view of competition. The only thing that can be judged by the results of the quarterly report of the company is revenue growth, which marked the sales of smart-watches: 61% compared to the same period last year. It is unlikely that such a jump has helped to make iPods, headphones or other accessories company.
Communicating after the publication of the financial report with analysts of investment companies during the telephone conference call, Tim cook called the Apple Watch “promising” category of products. He said that sales of the device have increased compared with the previous quarter, and the range of colors case and strap has been expanded.
The Director General noted that the smart watch Apple have a “huge impact” on the lives of people, because the list of supported applications is constantly expanding. In addition, cook is known the cases, when Apple Watch literally saved the lives of their owners. He was probably talking about the American student Field hole. For 17-year-old American Apple Watch have literally been saving a ticket from death: a heart rate monitor on them warned him that with his heart rhythm is something wrong and in time the doctors diagnosed him with rhabdomyolysis.
By the way, this story so touched the head of Apple Tim cook that he personally called the teenager. In conversation with Paul the CEO promised to give him a new iPhone, as well as an internship at Apple for the purpose of improvement of theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Apple CEO said that now in the online store App Store contains more than 13 000 applications for Apple Watch, of which 1300 work without the participation of the iPhone. According to him, sales of hours a little ahead of its own expectations of the management of the company.
