David Hanak Analyst company IDC she published information on sales on the computer market for the third quarter of this year. According to new data, Apple is not doing very well, as there was a year-on-year decrease in Mac sales by more than 10%. The reason is that potential customers are waiting for new models, which in some cases should replace products that are more than four years old.

Total PC sales fell by almost a percent year-on-year, with 3 million units sold worldwide in Q2018 67,4. However, the resulting numbers are significantly better than expected. The original predictions spoke of significantly larger year-on-year declines in the PC market.
As for Apple as such, it sold 4,7 million computers during the aforementioned period, which is a drop of 11,6% compared to the same period last year. Among the largest manufacturers, Apple still maintains fifth place behind manufacturers Lenovo, HP, Dell and Acer. Asus and other smaller manufacturers fared worse than Apple. As for the market share, it copies the drop in units sold and Apple thus lost 0,8%.
The decline in sales is most likely due to the fact that potential customers are simply waiting for the news that Apple will introduce in this segment. Over the past few months, only the professional series (MacBook Pro and iMac Pro) have received updates, the sales of which certainly do not reach such volumes as cheaper devices.
However, Apple has been forgetting about them for a long time, whether it's the Mac Mini that hasn't been updated in four years or the brutally outdated MacBook Air. At the same time, it is precisely these cheaper products that form a kind of "entrance gate" to the world of macOS, or Apple. The vast majority of fans are impatiently waiting for the October keynote, at which some news for regular users should appear. If this really happens, sales of Apple computers will certainly increase again.
It's simply enough for most people to have a Facebook mobile phone. The few pros who program for iOS. or they make graphics they don't rip it off. Clouds of people mainly work in MS Office. It is better to have Widle, because MS Office for Mac costs the same, but it is not complete. There is no Access or other things. You can buy a very decent notebook with Windows for half the price of a Mac Book Pro. Except to have Windows in dual boot, but most llamas can't handle that and don't even know about it. And if you buy good quality iron, enough memory and a fast SSD disk, you can really work with those Widles. You can't expect that the company that has the cheapest historical noťas for 25 and the first normal one for 40 will lead the sales table.
It wouldn't matter if in 14 days (22/10) Apple presents new laptops. It's just that Jablickar fell asleep a bit this time... And if I don't upgrade the notes, then Cook is dead.
For me, the main problem is that they are still only Intel processors, because what they have done with speed payments for spectre, meltdown and others, that is sad and I will not go to the macbook again until it has AMD ryzen or intel without holes, which will not drive like 2020 if not at all... In the end, the macbook pro 2016 will probably replace me with a new ipad pro for traveling with its own apple cpu, and the macbook will remain like a slow office on the table... It's a shame, a full-sized laptop was nice :-)
It's incomprehensible, but if a company with the potential of Apple leaves some laptop models unchanged for years, there is obviously a mistake somewhere.
