Mmmh... how so? Internationally, Apple has less than 5% market share compared to Windows PC. And that number appears to be destined to drop if the reactions to the new generation are any indication.
- jmeller 10y agoFrom that 5% market share they capture approximately 45% of the profits. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2013/04/17/apple-sells-5-of-pcs-world-wide-makes-45-of-the-profit/?client=safari https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2013/04/17...
- hota_mazi 10y agoThat number is nonsense. If you follow the source, it comes from Dediu, who's a well known Apple apologist, and if you read his own article, there's no substance to it. I'd love it if we could find actual, objective numbers.
- jmeller 10y agoTo be honest I don't really know much about Dediu but I did read his article and I didn't get the impression that it lacked substance. What is wrong with his methodology or assumptions that invalidate the 45% number? I am honestly curious because I don't want to continue to cite a bad source.
