Apple could sell as many as 85 million AirPods next year, making AirPods the company’s third-largest business after iPhones and ipads by 2021, Sacconaghi added in a note.

He informed the news daily that given AirPods’ extraordinarily steep adoption curve and rapid saturation of the iPhone installed base, they see a dramatic deceleration in AirPods revenue growth by 2021 or 22, to single-digit growth rates or possibly lower.

As per a report by Counterpoint Research, the size of the global market for true wireless hearables is expected to touch 120 million units this year and 230 million units in 2020, growing 90 per cent year on year (YoY),
