Yeah you are right, my bad! Fixed

I think your conclusion is also wrong. iPad sales are flat, and wearables are actually declining:

(Wearables, home, and accessories already surpassed Mac sales, although I don't know what exactly is included in accessories.)

Also, I don't think it's useful to compare wearables to Mac, because Watch isn't much of a computing platform, AirPods aren't a computing platform at all, and Vision Pro has almost no sales. This category is mostly accessories to iPhone.

I find iPads only marginally interesting now that I don't travel as much. Although the newer magnetic keyboards make them more usable as laptop replacements than they used to be. (Still not totally sold--maybe next longer trip.)

Re: Macbooks generally. My mind was somewhat blown when a former co-worker told me their kid didn't want a Macbook. They were fine with an iPhone for their schoolwork.

Personally, I still find MacBooks as the least replaceable category--other than the iPhone. Anything else I could live without as needed.

Wearables may include lightning charger cables :) ?
