There are more customers planning to buy Apple AirPods than planning to buy the Apple Watch Series 2, according to survey by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

12% of U.S. consumers surveyed say they intend to purchase AirPods. This is a very bullish sign for Apple, says BAML. "12% of the US installed base could lead to up to an incremental $3bn in revenue."

Customers who didn't show interest in AirPods cited the adequacy of their current headphones (56%) and cost (40%) as reasons for their lack of interest.

Notably, the survey found more customers were planning to purchase AirPods than Apple's smartwatch.

"Only a small portion of respondents own the Watch Series 1 and only 8% of respondents intend to buy the Watch Series 2."
