But it seems to me they are having less and less market impact with their new products. I have yet to see an Apple Watch in the wild, for example, even though about half the people I see around have iPhones. Part of that is that there are many companies now that put out great electronic products and it is harder to stand out.
But HomeKit is going nowhere without some sort of device like this.

I've seen a fair few in the wild. The obvious limitation of the current generation Apple Watch is that it requires you to have an iPhone to get the most out of it.
