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?
Their pre-orders are always full and keep growing. Sure looks like they are doing very well.
I wonder if they are even considering offering an option with RISC architecture. I doubt RISC-V is coming any time soon, but SnapDragon Elite looks amazing even though it’s ARM. Would love to get RISC based laptop from a manufacturer like Framework that doesn’t lock it to specific OS unlike Apple or Microsoft.
I’m definitely expecting they do once RISC-V is mature enough (something I can’t wait to happen!)
