With the impetus apparently behind sales of the iPhone 6S as a result of the upgrade program, it will be interesting to see whether Apple can make a similar sales change that could increase the volume of the Apple Watch.
Although Apple has yet to disclose any specific sales numbers for the Apple Watch, they may have tipped their hand a bit with the company’s most recent financial report. Apple’s new generation TV set has been integrated with a series of updates and tweaks to enable Siri voice commands, touch features, a new user interface and more, listing the device as unavailable for pick up or delivery on Best Buy’s site already. The iPhone 6S sold 13 million units in the first 3 days after it released, and Cook said during the call total iPhone sales for the quarter topped 48 million worldwide.
Since Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, the company has generated $1.1 trillion in revenue, and almost $230 billion in net profit.
The Apple Watch Edition and Hermès Apple Watch are not included in this offer.
Ever since we heard that the iPhone 6s / 6s Plus will be equipped with a force-sensitive display, we began wondering just how big of an impact this particular technology will make on the Apple ecosystem, and indeed on the smartphone market as a whole.
On the software side, IOS 9 continues to gain steam.
While the previous incarnation of Apple TV offered access to apps from Netflix, HBO, Hulu and broadcast and cable networks, the new Apple TV offers its own apps, created by third-party developers, with endless possibilities.
In a downplay, a few critics say that Apple TV just brings your phone onto your TV screen. Anyone can now buy the smartphone at a cut rate directly from Apple, and pay the remainder in monthly installments. It will be available to American Express customers in Australia and Canada this year and is expected to expand to other countries next year.

No matter. The revenue figures Apple is disclosing do hint at what sort of growth the Apple Watch is seeing in terms of sales. Analysts might have been wrong, though, as Apple’s quarterly reports revealed that the Apple Watch made the company quite a lot of money: $1.7 billion. “But India is a very different market to China and will consequently require a separate and distinct strategic approach”.
