IDC’s report on worldwide “wrist-worn” devices for the second quarter of 2025 is out, and it shows mixed results for the Apple Watch. Here is the breakdown.

dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities.
