  They feel like distinctly different markets. People who want a general purpose computer don’t get a iPad.

Not that surprising, pandemic demand of laptops was through the roof + first gen of M1 was out so pretty much every dev got in on the big improvement

Maybe everyone rushed out to buy the M1s last year because they were so good and disrupted the natural upgrade cycle so that this year there were less purchases?

https://www.businessofapps.com/data/apple-statistics/ https://www.businessofapps.com/data/apple-statistics/ Long page, scroll down and you'll find stats for the past 13 years through last quarter showing the numbers for each product per quarter. Sales are, overall, up since M1/M2 were released. There have been other past quarters where there is a major drop in Mac revenue (and same with other products). The iPhone numbers show this with a much more pronounced effect, but that's essentially a single release date for all products whereas Mac products get released throughout the year so it's harder to observe without more breakdown (at least to laptop and desktop levels).

I bought my M1 macbook air more than 1 year ago.

  Me too and it's so good I am not interested in upgrading. Macs have been like that for a while, though I went for the M1 before my previous machine was "worn out"

The laptops with M2 chips weren’t out during the quarter being reported here. The 13” MBP was available on the last two days of the quarter, and the much more popular MBA came out in the following quarter.

Only matters to 15% of the desktop world, it won't run the software used in remaining 85% of the desktop world, nor the game development SDKs used for 100% of game consoles.

Our company is Mac only but we haven’t widely adopted ARM yet. I think a lot of companies will take their time to switch.
