The good health of the Apple company is due to many factors and products. Among them we must count on the invaluable help of Mac computers. These devices, which are not exactly cheap at all, represent a great boost for the firm led by Tim Cook. The figures accompany. While the global market for PC sales and shipments falls, those of Macs grow. It seems as if the company is touched by a magic wand.
During the confinement and the subsequent quarantines and other measures taken around the crisis caused by the Coronavirus, many companies saw their sales figures drop if they did not have to close. But Apple remained impassive and improved its numbers thanks to Telecommuting. Then came and still continues the chip production crisis. But the company again increased its sales figures and so on. Now the problem is that the sale and shipment of computers in the world decreases but those of Apple increase.
new data from the analysis firm Gartner showed that when comparing the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, the global PC market saw a 7,3% decline, while the United States market decreased by 16,5%. Despite the drop in shipments for the market as a whole, which Gartner attributes to a sharp decline in Chromebook sales, Macs continued to grow in shipments and market share in both categories.
Apple shipped more than seven million Macs worldwide in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of more than 500,000 from the previous quarter, a growth of more than eight percent. The company also increased from a market share of 7,7% to 9% when comparing quarters.
Apple continued its push to start this year, led by the popularity of M1-based Mac devices. In the first trimester, Apple introduced Mac Studio, a premium desktop model based on M1, which drives sales among PC users who require high processing power.
