In Mac? I'm pretty sure they're steadily losing market share[0]. The whole market for desktop computing (inc laptops) has compressed, but Apple seem to be losing share faster than PC competitors.
iOS they remain in good shape however, but the OP's post was specifically about Mac/PC.

- valuearb 9y agoApple did lose market share in 2016, but its rebounded the last two quarters and is back to outgrowing the market. And note that the Macs average sales price is 2-3x the average PC price, and even increased the last quarter. http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/04/11/apples-mac-continues-to-buck-worldwide-pc-shipment-decline-in-q1 http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/04/11/apples-mac-continu... 2016 was the the only year Apple failed to outgrow the market in at least a decade, its market share was as low as 2% before Jobs came back.
