Apple sold $6 billion worth of AirPods this year

Apple sold $6 billion worth of AirPods this year and should sell more than double that next year, according to analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein — as reported by CNBC.

Growth could decelerate in 2021 as many iPhone users will have already purchased AirPods, Sacconaghi says. The analyst said in a note Friday that Apple could sell 85 million AirPods in 2020, generating about $15 billion in revenue. If sales of the wireless headphones grew at the same rate again in 2021, the product would become Apple’s third largest business, Sacconaghi said.
