But by 2020 it should grow to a whopping 76.6 million units, with smartwatch makers pulling in $17.8 billion in sales.

Before word that the iPhone 7 Plus had sold out, the phone was expected to arrive in stores on Friday alongside its smaller sibling. The phones appear nearly identical to last year's models but ditch the headphone jack in favor of wireless headphones or headphones that connect through the Lightning charging port. The most noticeable new features are the dual cameras in the 7 Plus and the two new black versions, including the shiny jet black model. Apple consistently has long lines of people at its stores to get the newest iPhone the first day it's available. This isn't the first time it's had low supplies of the hottest versions of its devices, but Apple hasn't issued such a warning about no availability before.
