"And in any event the numbers aren't particularly optimistic"
The article is stating that the rate of growth (still positive) for Macs slowed somewhat.
The same article states:
"Apple nonetheless outperformed the overall PC market, which saw shipments plummet 11% to 71 million for the quarter, according to IDC. Moreover, given the worse performance of other PC makers, its market share rose to 7.6% in 2015 from 6.9% last year, according to Gartner."
That looks decidedly optimistic to me!
- AnthonyMouse 11y agoThis is exactly what I'm talking about. The "overall PC market" is very different from Apple's market segment: http://gizmodo.com/5033865/study-average-mac-computer-price-more-that-twice-that-of-average-pc http://gizmodo.com/5033865/study-average-mac-computer-price-... You might as well compare sales of Macs to sales of office furniture or canned beets. The information you want is the effect of the battery/case design on Mac sales. The only way to get that is to exclude the effect of everything else that has changed in the interim, which we can't. In other words the data we want is not available and the available data is not overwhelmingly positive.
