Considering the iPhone made up nearly 70% of all Apple’s pre-Christmas revenue in 2014, we can expect it to enjoy massive success this year.

So while Apple TV’s promise that “the future of TV is here” is a bit overblown, there is a few truth to it. Instead of turning your TV into a computer, the new Apple TV basically turns your TV into an iPhone.
Apple’s catch-all category grew from US$8.379 billion in 2014 to US$10.067 billion in fiscal 2015.
Apple’s ever-improving quarterly results are starting to develop an air of relentlessness, at least where the iPhone is concerned. Apple has included this tech in their Apple Watch and iPhone 6s devices, while Huawei has announced this tech will be a part of their Mate S offering (one variant of the phone).
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has revealed that its latest upgraded version of Apple TV is now available at Apple Stores and third-party retailers like Target Corporation, Best Buy, MacMall and more.
Cook added that he plans to expand the channel of Watch units for the holiday season, banking on the fact that Apple’s smartwatch will be a top gift for the period. The side-scrolling action-adventure title, Apple’s 2013 iPad Game of the Year, has been retooled to offer a completely new living room experience. Apple reported there are more than 13,000 Watch apps in the App Store, including over 1,300 native apps, such as Facebook Messenger, Major League Baseball At Bat and Runkeeper. But what if the devices’ relationship were more cemented than that? Anyone can now buy the smartphone at a cut rate directly from Apple, and pay the remainder in monthly installments.
Shareholders of the company have reason to rejoice as well, based on Apple’s press release.
As expected, the new Apple TV is now available to purchase in stores.
A definite advantage to having Apple TV is that it comes with Siri as a virtual assistant, allowing users to search the viewing catalog with voice commands.
In its fiscal fourth quarter ended September 26, Apple’s “Other Products” generated revenue of $3.05 billion, an increase of 61% year over 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.

In the June quarter, the first quarter of availability for the Apple Watch, Apple is estimated to have sold about 2.5 million smartwatches.
