According to Headphones Addict Airpods generated $1.76B in the first full year of 2017, and are widely considered a success by now.
At $3500 that's around 850k units.
If Apple launch more headsets with VisionOS they also count toward the revenue.
Wearables, Home and Accessories
Wearables includes smartwatches, wireless headphones and spatial computers.

3 months ending Dec 2024 $11.747 bn is only slightly down on previous years $11.953 bn
So it seems Vision Pro has not halted that decline and Apple accounts are not treating Vision Pro as a separate segment that will report information like revenue.

The company now believes it has enough stock to last through the end of the year or even to the end of its lifecycle.
Questions about whether 500k units will be sold in first year have resolved no.
Doesn't seem encouraging.
I guess still wait for more clarity?
