Aren’t you the guy that said the iwatch was a big success?
Read some articles and you’ll see iPhones is saturated and it’s all about upgrades. Plus iPhone is now in 3rd place in China... Which is a drop for them.
The data they are using to claim the Apple Watch is not selling indicates SIX MILLION units in the first quarter. The iPad only sold 3.1 million it its first quarter in 2010 and it held the record for the best selling initial product of all time. the Watch is no way a flop.
I've read many articles. The iPhone is just entering India. . . and only 27% of over 400,000,000 other iPhone users have upgraded to iPhone 6 or 6 plus because their contract hasn't expired. Sorry, you're wrong. Android users are switching faster than ever before. China is is down because they're waiting for the new iPhones and Xiaomi and Huameu put out their new models in mid-summer.
Could you post the actual sales data on the watch for us?

Apple Inc.’s iPhone Falls Behind Xiaomi and Huawei In China
Is Apple struggling in the world’s largest smartphone market?
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was the top smartphone maker China in the first quarter of 2015, but it slipped to third place in the second quarter, according to new data from research firms Canalys and Counterpoint Research. The reports caused Apple stock to slip over 2% on Aug. 4.
Counterpoint claims that Apple claimed just 12.2% of the market, putting it behind Xiaomi and Huawei’s respective shares of 15.8% and 15.4%. In the first quarter, Apple led the market with a 16% market share. Canalys hasn’t released full market share figures yet, but its overall rankings are the same as Counterpoint’s.
Should investors worry about Apple’s apparent slowdown in the world’s largest smartphone market?
Xiaomi and Huawei bounce back
Xiaomi recently launched the Mi Note Pro, an upgraded version of its popular Mi Note phablet, and the new low-end Redmi 2. In the first half of 2015, Xiaomi’s smartphone shipments rose 33% annually to 34.7 million units. That growth sounds impressive, but it represents a steep slowdown from the triple-digit growth it posted in previous years. It also indicates that Xiaomi will miss its prior full-year forecast for 80 million to 100 million shipments in 2015.
Meanwhile, Huawei experienced robust demand for its new Honor smartphones, which are sold through the same low-margin, online-only business model as Xiaomi. That growth boosted Huawei’s smartphone shipments 39% annually to 48.2 million units in the first half of 2015. Unlike Xiaomi, Huawei expects to hit its sales target of 100 million smartphones by the end of the year. Huawei’s overall sales are higher than Xiaomi’s because it sells its phones in more overseas markets than Xiaomi, which generates most of its sales from China.
