Mac sales are slowing down, but don't blame Apple
- 9 years ago
Apple just announced record-breaking iPhone 6s sales, but according to a new report, the Mac may not be showing quite the same upward trajectory.
According to researchers at both firms, Apple has been hurt by the strong U.S. dollar, which has made its computers more expensive to overseas customers, while the market has been weaker than usual in both Europe and Japan.
Even if Mac sales are slowing, it's also a whole lot less than the rest of the PC industry, which has declined 11 percent to 71 million units sold this quarter, as per IDC's figures.
