- throwawaysea 5y agoIs this driven by the MBPs? They were a big enough upgrade relative to everything else that they were probably easy and confident purchases for shoppers who were looking for a new computer.
- dwaite 5y agoMore likely driven by the MacBook Air first and iMac second. They sell substantially fewer pro models, and the MBP also came out relatively recently.

You should expect 15M more active Mac user if no user were leaving the platform. Which should bring the total active Mac user base to 120M. Something they might announce in their next Spring Event or WWDC.
