A little before Apple shows its financial results so far in 2015 and more specifically in the second quarter, the consultants have got down to work to bring about a study of Mac and PC sales both globally and in the US market.
For now and according to the IDC company, sales of the Mac have increased by 16.1 percent compared to other years In the same quarter and if this data is compared with that of PC, we see how the compatible market has decreased as a whole by 11,8 percent, although of course all this are approximate estimates of the real data carried out by a private company although Apple's strong push is still remarkable.
According to the graph, Apple has sold slightly less than 5,14 million computers, which places it in fourth place worldwide only below brands like Lenovo, HP and DellThese companies sold 13.44 million, 12.25 million and 9.56 million units respectively. On the other hand and below Apple are Acer and ASUS, both with just over 4 million units sold but with a slight advantage of Acer.
In total, IDC estimates that around 66.14 million computers have been shipped during the last quarter with Apple being the only one that has improved in sales. According to Apple, its launch of the new MacBook Retina 12 ″ and the price competition that affects other manufacturers when Windows 10 has not yet been launched has helped a lot.
On the other hand, the second consulting firm in the field, Gartner, has published its own research data, resulting in the global sales of PC fell 9,5% to 68,4 million of units, this has been due in large part to Microsoft and its policy of suspending sales by volume of Windows XP, as a result there is an "obligation" for manufacturers to maintain their inventory until Windows 10 is available by the end of this year. month.
The most striking thing is that Gartner does not include Apple in global equipment sales and yet it assigns a 2,5% loss in the US market.
Well, I have more and more clients who don't want mac. How weird noo!
