#Apple Watch market share

The Chinese tech giant shipped 8.7 million units during this period, marking a 44% year-over-year increase and capturing a 19% market share. Apple, previously the market leader, shipped 7.6 million units in Q1 2025, securing a 16% market share. Analysts suggest that Apple's conservative update cycle, particularly the lack of new models in its Watch SE and Ultra lines, may have contributed to its slower growth. Telegram has released a fully native Apple Watch app, bringing messaging and media features directly to watchOS users. People can send and receive text and voice notes, view GIFs and videos, share their location, and mess around with stickers right from their Apple Watch. This release is basically Telegram coming back to watchOS more than a decade after it first tried Apple Watch support in 2015, then later dropped the app. Read more in our articles including "Xiaomi Surpasses Apple to Lead Global Wearables Market" and "Telegram brings native Apple Watch app back".
