"PC" in Apple lingo refers to Windows machines. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/10/31/cook-why-would-you-buy-a-pc-anymore http://daringfireball.net/linke

  You're not wrong about "PC", but Cook was pretty clearly talking about a larger market shift away from laptops and desktops: > Yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people. They will start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else, other than their phones. I don't really buy the downplaying of the "many, many people" wording in the linked blog post. I think the fact that Cook was silent about Mac while still bothering to mention "other than their phones" is a kind of statement in itself.

  But does that make any sense? Why would people not need PCs but need Macs?

    To sync/backup and write code for their iOS devices? Actually the real answer is to avoid Microsoft. Microsoft - remove telemetry and you'll have me back.

      That's not a big enough market worth addressing though - Most people of course don't mind Microsoft at all. And given just how sweet they're making Windows for developers I suspect less and less people will mind them.
