Apple Watch dominates the market, thanks to the Series 5 model
Apple watches have enjoyed immense popularity since their launch. In addition, a number of reviewers are not afraid to call this product the best smart watch ever, which we can also hear from competing users. Today we saw the release of new data from the agency Counterpoint Research, which analyze the sales of the aforementioned smart watches. The share of Apple Watch for the first half of this year was an incredible 51,4 percent, which puts Apple in first place.
Looking at the chart attached above, we can see a huge dominance by the Californian giant. The latter holds more than half of the market, while the rest is "fragmented" among other manufacturers. The smartwatch market overall saw 20% year-over-year growth, with Apple Watch sales up 22% year-over-year. The Apple Watch Series 2020 became the best-selling watch in the first half of 5, followed by the Series 3 model. The third position was taken by Huawei with its Watch GT2, and right behind it was Samsung with the Watch Active 2.
The Apple TV application has arrived in some LG TVs
This year, owners of LG televisions received the Apple TV application. It came on selected models from 2019, and the company itself said at the time that TVs from a series older than one year should also be available. Currently, posts are starting to appear on the Internet from users who have the aforementioned application available on their 2018 model as well. What is more interesting is that LG has not commented on the whole situation in any way and it is therefore not clear whether it is a global update or not . However, the arrival of the application is reported by users from different countries.

Apple's market value is rising again
The Californian giant passed a huge milestone just two days ago. Its market value exceeded two trillion crowns, making Apple the first company ever to achieve this. Although many analysts and experts predicted a decline in the value of one stock, the opposite is true. Today, its value exceeded five hundred dollars, i.e. about 11 thousand crowns.
Despite the global pandemic and world crisis, Apple manages to grow. The revenue of the apple company for the last quarter even amounted to a record 59,7 billion dollars. Because of the aforementioned crisis, students moved to distance learning and many people switched to the so-called home office. For this reason, sales of Apple computers and iPads, which are perfect for work, have increased.
