Apple’s wearables business is approaching the size of a Fortune 200 company. Wearables, home and accessories GREW over $1.8 billion, thanks to amazing popularity of Apple Watch and AirPods. [POF - Remember at the launch not long ago so many people said Apple Watch was a loser, there was no use for it, and it was DOA?]

Apple’s wearables division started its first year with revenues that WERE the size of a Fortune 500 company, coming in at number 213 if those revenues were from a stand alone corporation’s revenues. . . and only grew larger since then. Apple Watch revenues were greater than the revenues of the entire watch industry of all types in the second year.

Wow...I had no idea. Kind of like how they captured all the profits of the entire mobile phone industry.
