It's only been a few weeks, huh? Apple revealed its financial results for the past quarter to the world. Although the company has achieved decent success in many ways, Mac sales are alarmWith 3,72 million Macs sold in the last quarter, it recorded Apple worst quarter since 2010. Less than four million Macs per quarter then Apple sold for the last time in 2013. So, logically, poor sales had to be reflected in the total share of Apple computers in the world.

A few days ago, the global computer market was also focused on by the analytical company TrendForce, which, at the end of its research, compiled a ranking of the largest computer vendors for the past quarter. If you already suspect that there is Applu didn't work out twice, you're right. Share AppThe share of the computer market was only 6,5%, which is a huge drop compared to ten percent in the previous quarter.
According to the table published by TrendForce, it is clearly visible that of the six largest computer manufacturers, only three companies - Asus, Lenovo and Apple. On the contrary, the competition led by HP did very well.
Old age is to blame
Even researchers from TrendForce agree that the fact that virtually all Macs were on offer had a significant impact on the unsuccessful quarter. Applu more or less obsolete. 12” MacBookya iMacs received an update in June 2017, MacBook Air then it received its last significant upgrade in 2015. Mac mini pack Apple updated since 2014 and Mac Pro since December 2015. New MacBookThe Pros only arrived in July and of course did not have a strong impact on sales.

But according to analysts, the current quarter will be for Apple very good. It will reflect the sales of the newly introduced MacBookand perhaps even the upcoming successor MacBooku Air, which is also planned.
So quality is also a problem. Like sorry, but to macbook pro for 70 thousand it had a problem like pressed keys on the screen, so that's a real shame. They can't add 2mm and make sure that this nestavalo? 9 year old lenovo, still in use, has a screen without a single defect. 6 months old macbook It already has a keystroke engraved on it.
The problems with the butterfly keyboard do not need to be mentioned, and the completely unusable touchbar only underlines it. I have it only because without it apple does not give a fingerprint reader. As a moss it is nice, but of zero practical use. Different functions with each screen, so the only thing I use it for is brightness and volume.
Cook He doesn't understand Macs and instead of using the company's wealth to develop Macs, he lets them rot. Bury MacSafe for example MacBookOh, only a fool can do that.
The main reason I see is that Apple led by a group of managers. They have no visionary ambitions, the main motivation is the best numbers at the end of the financial year. It reminds me Apple after the departure of Jobs in the years 1985 to 1991, when he was also very successful, but then there was a fall. When Jobs died so Apple sold 1 iPhone, 1 iPad and 4 Macs, so there were not many compromises to be made, each product had to be the best in its category. Now I can go to the website AppYou can choose from 8 different iPhones, 4 iPads and 7 Macs.
I'm planning to upgrade from MacBooku Retina 15 from 2012 (i7, 16Gb, 256SSD). I wanted to upgrade to an iMac, but lately I've also been increasingly considering whether toonec I won't end up with the executive pécéček s Windows. Maybe it's just a feeling, but it seems to me Apple it only innovates things that I personally don't appreciate that much - touchbar, cancellation of magsafe, pursuit of razor profiles - despite the fact that subjectively I feel that the premium quality and reliability of hw and sw is reflected more in the price than in reality. Basically, I'm just waiting for the introduction of the new iMacs, including the prices.
A PC is ALWAYS a better choice than a MAC that costs 50-100% extra prices for the brand and especially for the OS! This makes macOS the most expensive operating system.
You can update everything on the PC, if you want, change the OS - eg GNU/Linux, or HACKINTOSH...
You can see that a lot of people who had MAC realize that they can move elsewhere, too bad they can't see it themselves Apple, which makes more and more restrictions.
For example, on a Macmini They say you can't replace either the RAM or the HDD, sorry, but it's a golden nuc, or something else mini PC!
I've been using Macy since 2010 and I've never let it down. I have Macbook Pro 2017 with TB and I'm starting to feel a lack of performance, especially graphics when doing 3D modeling, so I'm considering getting a desktop PC with Win purely for work. Mac is definitely more user-friendly, but that doesn't matter when rendering. Apple basically no longer makes computers for professionals (Mac Pro still sells the 2013 version) and the fact that they put i9 processors in the new McB Pro, which the 15mm thick body cannot cool, is an example of this, the laws of physics also apply to Apple. Without the possibility of upgrading HW, you can't even talk about a Mac as a working machine.
I disagree, whenever I have to "fix" something on my wife's PC, it's a pain. Your opinion is probably given by the fact that you have never worked on a Mac for a long time, I have on a PC.
