Other Products (Watch, TV, Beats, iPod, AirPods, accessories like Watch Bands etc) : 2.73 billion. ”Īnd for those who think door handles are more important and Macs are dying: I suspect today you get as much respect designing a funky new Watch band as a new Mac. They would also treat designers working on Macs almost as good as those designing door handles (one and half years for the Campus door handles according to Reuters).
