Apple Watch sales down 90% from opening week, report says

/in

Since its first week on the market, during which Apple sold about 1.5 million Apple Watches, the company has seen a 90% decline in sales of its smartwatch, according to a MarketWatch article on data collected by Slice Intelligence.

On a daily basis, Apple is now selling fewer than 20,000 Apple Watch units, and occasionally fewer than 10,000, according to the report. That’s down from an estimated 200,000 sales per day in the first week the device was on the market.

Slice, which often releases data on estimated sales of Apple products, also says that the lower-cost (starting at $ 349) Sport model has accounted for about two-thirds of Apple Watch sales. To date, Apple has sold fewer than 2,000 units of its gold, Edition model Apple Watch, which are priced at $ 10,000 and higher, according to the report.

Verizon calls New York City’s report on FiOS failure a ‘union tactic’

/in

The office of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio released results of a recent audit of Verizon’s FiOS deployment in the city today, declaring that “Verizon substantially failed to meet its commitment to the people of New York City.”

The report, released by the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) and available in PDF here, charges Verizon with several violations of its 2008 agreement to offer FiOS to all city residents by 2014, claiming the company “has not run fiber throughout enough of the City’s residential neighborhoods to deliver on its commitments.” Earlier this week, a Wall Street Journal report leaked details from the audit: that more than 40,000 requests for service from residences that had not been wired for FiOS remained unfulfilled, and that 75% of those requests had gone unaddressed for more than a year.
