According to a global track for Countrint smart hours. With the exception of the Indian sides, except for India. The most significant fall occurred in North America, which has more than half of the Apple Watch supply in the world. The main among them is the lack of a new Apple Watch SE model, which historically served the most popular smart supervision of Apple in terms of volume after launch. The last model of SE was released in the third quarter of 2022, and its further absence during 2024 is called the key factor in the weakened growth of shipment.
Apple Watch Series 10 was released in 2024, offering “less significant updates” over his predecessor, which reduced the consumer’s incentive for updating. The model was affected by constant legal problems in the United States, where Apple was supposed to remove the function of the oxygen sensor from the touched units from patent trials.
The absence of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 model in 2024 is also a factor. The Apple Watch Ultra Line previously amounted to more than 10% of Apple Watch supply in the world, but its share fell to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2024 in the absence of a new model. Counterpoint noted that this decline has contributed to the total loss of Apple shipment in the Advanced Smart watch, where the Apple market share has fallen by 8% of the points compared to last year. Nevertheless, a recent decline notes the abolition from earlier years of growth. According to the previous data of the counterpoint, Apple Watch deliveries increased by 27% in 2021. In 2022, growth stalled, and the company reported a zero percentage compared to last year. This was followed by a decrease by 10% in 2023, which almost doubled in a scale in 2024. While global Apple deliveries have signed a contract, all other main suppliers in the “improved smart clock” category saw growth compared to last year, according to the report. Thanks to the updated design and potentially lower price, the Apple Watch Series 11 with new health monitoring and 5G shifts, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with a satellite connection. New models should be launched in the fall, probably along with the iPhone 17 line.
