Apple’s iPhone lineup is selling well, but the Mac is in a serious rough patch
www.theverge.com
Mac revenue was down 34 percent year over year.

Mac sales are down.

I’m really not surprised. They are just a bit too expensive once you start upgrading the storage and ram.

I have been holding out on buying a Mac since the M2 was rumored to come out.

I keep hoping that the base model will have a larger amount of storage and ram, but it does not.

They keep selling faster processors, but I do not need that, I need more storage and I’d like more ram.

At this point, I’m just going to buy a used M1 air. If Apple had 512 and 26 standard on the base air, I’d pickup a new one today.

Do you disagree? What can Apple do to increase Mac sales?

    iPhone isn’t a rosy picture either; still down in China despite a last minute price slash to boost sales.

    Maybe stop designing tone-deaf products like you are bigger than the market. Nobody is immune to current market and geopolitical conditions.

      I only bought a phone because my xr was broken in too many ways. I wasn’t even excited to buy it. When I was talking to my family about it, I compared it to buying tires.

      It’s something you need to do every few years but are not at all excited about it.

        Indeed. I upgraded to a new phone recently, and honestly outside of the storage bump there’s very little noticeable difference. Even with the new display cutout, it barely changed my usage habits in a meaningful way. Sure the camera is nicer, but objectively I don’t use it much either.
