Apple's a public company. Its shareholders get to decide what's a flop, not the CEO.

In management, a flop is a product which fails to come up to forecasts of the top management.
What may be a successful product for XYZ, may not be termed successful by Apple.

I remember having my manuscript to three publishers.
First one said that unless our marketing team says that annual demand is more than 30,000 copies, we will not touch this item.
Second one rejected it because the demand is from all over the world but we cater to US market alone.
Third one jumped at it saying that why do we need to project annual demand, books are non perishable goods and title has niche market and we can sell about 8000 copies in about two years. We print next edition only when first edition runs out.

So the definition varies but one thing is definite that it has failed to be a story which Tim Cook can brag about.

Roughly 75% of the smart-watch market.

The answer to your question is "click-bait"…
