Apple entered the wearable healthcare technology space with its introduction of the iPhone 6 and the Apple Watch, which offers fitness tracking, file sharing and emergency contact information storage.
CEO Tim Cook has spoken of his pride in the Apple Watch and AirPods wireless headphones having overtaken the iPod’s revenue.
“On a trailing basis, … the revenue for wearables is already 50% more than iPod was at its peak,” Cook said. “I think everybody would say it was an incredibly important product for Apple, full of innovation, and probably the trigger for the company getting on a very different trajectory and into other markets.”
