Why would you guess that? It's +22% Mac marketshare, not +22% Apple Silicon Mac marketshare.
- throwanem 2y agoApple hasn't manufactured Intel Macs since 2020.
- cromulent 2y agoThe last one to be discontinued was the Intel Mac Pro in June 2023, after the Intel iMacs and Mac Minis were discontinued in 2022 and early 2023.
- throwanem 2y agoFair, it would have been more accurate to say Apple shipped no Intel Macs in Q1.
- blkhp19 2y agoSomeone upgrading from an Intel Mac to an Apple Silicon Mac doesn't increase Mac marketshare.
- throwanem 2y agoThis is year-on-year for Q1. If I want whatever Macs I bought in Q1 '24 to net out neutral here, I need to have bought an equal number of Macs in Q1 '23. Per a sibling commenter, Apple did still sell Intel Macs throughout Q1 '23, so it's possible for the earlier set to have been Intel and the later to have been M-series, which we could count as the upgrades you describe. Intuitively it seems difficult to imagine very many people would have done this, but to set an upper bound we would need M-series vs. Intel share figures for Q1 '23.
- pegasus 2y agoObviously, because all macs now sold are Apple Silicon.
