Wearable Device Shipments Slow in Q1 2018 as Consumers Shift from Basic Wearables to Smarter Devices, According to IDC

I don’t think this good news was available in time to make the Developer’s Conference today:

“Apple Watch shipments grew 13.5% over the previous year as the launch of a cellular connected Watch entered additional markets. Telcos around the world have rejoiced as the inclusion of cellular has opened another revenue stream. Apple’s growth has also outpaced the entire market allowing the watchmaker to increase its share from 14.3% in 1Q17 to 16.1% in 1Q18.”
