That's a very short-sighted view. The fact of the matter is that there's no offer from Apple in the $800 segment.
There's also a lack of 2-in-1 devices (and arguably the iPad family cannot fill this niche as long as iPadOS remains dumbed-down).
So unless the entire Laptop market shifts to $1000+ devices exclusively, there's no way this will happen.
Unfortunately I cannot provide you with hard sales data, since the relevant market reports cost upwards $2.500, but their overall market share is about 10% [0] so go figure.

- mnw21cam 5y agoAgreed. I bought my laptop four years ago for £600. It has a 3200x1800 bright and clear display, 8GB RAM, is thin and light, the battery lasts six hours, and I really don't care that the CPU is an Atom, because I'm always logged into a heavier system over the network. Apple isn't in my section of the market. I appreciate the technological advances that they are making - they're good. But it's not for me.
