I think it will be near impossible. Pretty sure the iTunes and App Stores are in the same bucket.
That's true, but we have a long history of knowing how much income those products represent in the "other" category. Whatever the difference in revenue Apple reports there over the same quarter last year, or even the most recent quarter, will be pretty much assured it's the ?Watch profits. Determining how many units sold will definitely be impossible.
If you are so sure about the Watch's failure take my bet:
If Apple sells 15 million Watches in the first 12 months you ban yourself for a month.
If they don't I'll ban myself.
If you don't take the bet then it is proof you are just a troll and don't truly believe what you say.
Only a month? Why a month? He has been fucking up every single thread here since his existence, and with the Apple Watch it's only gotten worse, posting nothing but lies and filth. If he had any shame he'd ban himself for eternity, but that will never happen, nor will he take your bet of course. That's how empty cowards operate, they'll vomit out nonsense all day long, but God forbid they put something on the line or have accountability for what they say. Notice he has never mentioned a SINGLE specific number of what he would consider a failure, even when asked, so he can squirm out of everything.
The worst is that he pretends that Apple made this decision yesterday, when it was made way before the watch was even released. So by his logic, Apple decided ahead of time to release a product they "knew" would be an "abysmal failure". I think a fucking gnat can manage more logic than that. So pathetic this troll continues to peddle his filth when there are so many signs that he is epically wrong, all because of his irrational hatred of a product he probably has yet to even try in person.
Apple only "lumps" them together when they are not substantial enough to brag about...even more evidence that the AW is an abysmal failure, chinese dogs wearing Edition watches and all.
By the same flawgic, the government not releasing classified information about so-called "Area 51" is "even more evidence" they're hiding alien bodies and crashed saucers there.
I wonder if this is too soon to let developers have native capabilities.
Generally speaking, it's often helpful to take small steps when starting something new, in this case, making an app for a new, very small device. It might be in a developer's best interests to be restricted to Apple's current scheme for now, until they really learn the ropes. And after mastering the basics, then have full native access.

The problem is that the growth of the App Store is not stable. It has been accelerating each quarter. Apple gives some stats when they hit milestones, but those are at the milestone and not quarter boundaries. I would not want to be responsible for reverse engineering those earnings, but I'm positive analyst will try. Of course most don't have a clue anyway.

I bought two today. One for each arm.
OK the second one was for my wife
Can you post a pic with one watch on each wrist so we can see Brlawyer having another temper-tantrum?

Anyway, it's just a thought.
