Second gen Apple silicon MacBook Pro sales (M2 models) are only moderately higher then second gen Touch Bar MacBook Pro (2017) sales.
And 2017 macbok pros only got a small spec bump.
So the vast majority of customers were satisfied enough with usability even with the more sensitive keyboards, Touch Bar, etc.
- Tiktaalik 4y agoIf Apple was still making the terrible 2017 macs with their lousy broken keyboards I think the users would be headed elsewhere with their next computer purchase. The M1s saved their marketshare. That a bunch of long time Apple buyers, used to a quality product from Apple, got suckered into buying the 2017 computer that was lousy says little.
- pedalpete 4y agoAnother way to look at the data is that Mac users are buying Macs and Mac is not growing market share. This isn't surprising as the notebook/desktop market is mature and people are unlikely to switch platforms. So as long as Apple doesn't completely botch an update/upgrade, they will likely continue to sell about the same number each year.
