Smart covers and  TV

Beneath contempt: The Apple TV business model

This is still not a huge business. It is about equal to the revenue from iPad Smart Covers[1]

Notes:

  1. In 2011 there were about 40.5 million iPads sold. If we assume half of those purchases also resulted in a Smart Cover purchase and if the average revenue per Smart Cover was $35 then total Smart Cover revenues were $709 million.
