Apple AirPods have seen the biggest discounts on Amazon, compared to other retailers, during the recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Prospective buyers are still eyeing offers on the AirPods 2 and the AirPods Pro, as the smart headphones quickly sold out during the events. The Apple AirPods are still out of stock on Amazon at the time of publication. Although, you can buy a pair at Black Friday prices, and Amazon will start shipping as soon as the product is back in stock.
Analysts believe that the AirPods are headed towards mass-market domination, which could soon result in quarterly revenue over $4 billion during the holiday season. A benchmark last created by Apple at the peak of the iPod revolution back in 2007. Industry analyst Asymco recently published a report on Apple’s quarterly revenue from the Home, Wearables and Others category. While the Apple Watch surpassed the $4 billion mark in collected revenue back in Q4 2018, this is a first for the AirPods.
Asymco states that while it is difficult to calculate the exact revenue of every product in the Home and Wearables category since Apple does not reveal the official numbers. Estimating the revenue generated by the Apple Watch and subtracting it from the total revenue, gives an approximation for the AirPods. Based on those figures it is possible for the AirPods to overtake peak iPod sales. Asymco further believes that Apple will witness 50% YoY growth for wearables. The Cupertino-based tech giants have already begun increasing its AIrPods Pro production capacity, keeping the increasing demand in mind.
