Some studies report that sales of Apple equipment are declining and others say the opposite. What seems obvious is that without Apple offering real figures, all the studies by these analysts can be taken with a grain of salt although they approach a possible reality.
Ultimately not even the company itself offers a real number of Mac sales, so any study can be denied at any time. It should be mentioned that in this case there are several analysts who estimate the sales of these equipment and most give negative estimates for sales.
Does this mean that less equipment has been sold this year? Well the answer to this question is probably yes, but there are no specific details of the amounts. In Gartner for example, they estimate that Apple sold about 5,1 million Macs this quarter, which is down from about 200.000 units last quarter. In the IDC study, they explain that the decrease between quarter is 6,1%, so they would be close to the figures of the previous one and instead in Canalys They explain that the decrease is in the market share compared to the rest of the manufacturers and not in the sales of the Mac ...
Without a doubt, it must be clear that all of these are estimates and that although it is true that Apple does not show specific data on the sales of its equipment, analysts have good data sources that they use to make these estimates. It is also true that they can be wrong, it would not be the first time, but they tend to be quite right and in this quarter it seems that once again the sale of Macs would have suffered a decrease compared to previous quarters. Hopefully he recovers soon if well It's true, Macs are no longer Apple's flagship product since iPhones have been occupying for some time.
