Ikota yokugqibela ka-2016 yayilixesha elilungileyo lokuthengisa kweApple, njengoko uTim Cook ngokwakhe eye waqaphela, nangona enganikeli amanani asemthethweni eiyunithi ezithengisiweyo, njengoko esenza kwezinye iimveliso ezinje nge-iPhone, i-iPad okanye iiMacs. ngoqikelelo lwe-IDC, oluthelekisa iikota ezimbalwa zokugqibela zabathengisi abaphambili bezinxibo kunye nabambalwa Uqikelelo lwentengiso apho iXioami ifumene indawo yesibini, ngasemva nje kweFitbit, eyehla kakhulu kwintengiso, nangaphambi kweApple, eneyona kota intengiso ye-smartwatch kwimbali yayo..
Ngokwedatha ye-IDC, iApple ngeyayeyeyona ikota ibalaseleyo kwimbali yayo, ngentengiso ye-4,6 yezigidi ze-Apple Watch ezithengisiweyo ukusuka ngo-Okthobha ukuya ku-Disemba 2016, emele ukukhula kunyaka ophelileyo we-13% ufikelela kwisabelo sentengiso se-13,6%. Ngaphandle kwamanani erekhodi, iApple iwela kwindawo yesithathu, kuba iXioami iphumelele ukuthengisa iiyunithi ezizizigidi ezi-5,2 kwangelo xesha linye, ngokukhula ngama-96,2% xa kuthelekiswa kwangexesha elifanayo kunyaka ophelileyo.. I-Fitbit, ngenxa yenxalenye yayo, ihlupheke kakhulu, ngokuhla okungaphezulu kwe-22% xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo, ifikelela kwiiyunithi ezizigidi ezingama-6,5 kuphela ezithengisiweyo.
Ngaphandle kwekota yokurekhoda, uqikelelo lwe-IDC lubonisa ukuthengiswa kweApple Watch kungaphantsi kunezo zika-2015, mhlawumbi kukhuthazwa yinto yokuba i-smartwatch ayizange ihlaziywe de kube sekupheleni konyaka, ke iimodeli ezintsha zinike ingxelo kuphela kwintengiso yazo kwikota. Ukwehla akukuhle, ukusuka kwiiyunithi ezizizigidi ezili-11,6 ngo-2015 ukuya kwizigidi ezili-10,7 kunyaka ophelileyo, kodwa kufanelekile inikwe ukuba kuphela kophawu olunengxaki yokwehla kwintengiso kuthathelwa ingqalelo yonke umngxunya. Imarike enxitywayo kwihlabathi liphela inyuse ukuthengisa ngama-25%, idlula iiyunithi ezizigidi ezili-100 ezithengiswe ngo-2016.
