Tim Cook’s first major, standalone product is a flop. According to the latest IDC data, sales of the Apple Watch plunged by 55%, from 3.6 million a year ago to just 1.6 million in Q2. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-21/apple-watch-sales-tumble-55

Several errors on your part, Neidermeyer. The Apple Watch is not a "standalone product" as it is an accessory for the iPhone line. Ergo, as an accessory it requires the ownership of an iPhone to work properly.

Secondly, anything that has sold over a minimum 14 million units in its first year on the market is not a flop. It outsold the iPad, the best selling consumer product of all time in both products' first weekends, and the Apple Watch out sold the iPhone itself in its first year on the market, neither of which can at all considered to be "flops."

Thirdly, and finally, at an average retail selling price of over $450 per unit, compared to the competition's under $175 ARSP per unit, the Apple Watch has produced a one year revenue of over $6.3 BILLION, a revenue amount all by itself GREATER than the revenue generated by 112 of companies on the Fortune 500! That is NOT a flop by anyone's definition, Neidermeyer.

So, Neidermeyer, the only flop here is your claim the Apple Watch is a flop.
