Apple now leads the smartwatch business with more than 60 percent market share. The Cupertino firm is selling millions of smartwatch units out there. Last month, sources claimed that Apple Watch with LTE was insanely popular on the market. In reality, Apple Watch was one of the hottest items during 2018 holiday shopping season as its shipments hit 4 million units.
Apple Watch tends to get better and smarter every year. The current Apple Watch Series 4 marks a significant upgrade over its predecessors with a bigger screen, new hardware, and a redesigned Digital Crown. The best part is that you can add a passcode to your smartwatch to protect your data from the prying eyes.
