Q2 2009 Home Mac Sales Up 14+%
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 02:00 PM
"The worldwide PC market began a slow rebound from the recession last quarter with overall home sales surging, and strong Mac sales with business buyers."
The totals for Apple overall weren't great (5.5% gain) but much better than being in the negative numbers like the overall market was for PCs (-2.4%). From the chart you can tell the only bright spot was when they segmented the markets and Apple gained 14.6% in the home category, and the market overall gained 18.5%. Apple also had a 2% gain in the small office segment. You sure can tell where Apple needs help: Government growth was a dismal -66.9%.
