“The latest domestic sales figures from the NPD Group suggest Apple may have sold as many as 4.2 million Macs in the June quarter, a sum that would represent the company’s best quarter ever,” Sam Oliver reports for AppleInsider.
“Domestic Mac NPD unit sales in the U.S. for all three months of the June quarter were up 12 percent year over year, analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray revealed on Monday,” Oliver reports. “That U.S.-only data is tracking in-line with or slightly below Wall Street consensus of between 15 percent and 22 percent year-over-year worldwide growth.”

Oliver reports, “Those percentages work out to between 4 million and 4.2 million Mac sales for the June quarter. If Apple’s sales come in on the high side of those estimates, the company would best its previous record of 4.1 million units sold in the holiday quarter that ended calendar 2010.”

Analysts were saying, “If only Apple could sell a million Macs a quarter Apple might be a success again and survive.”
Apple’s been selling over a million a month for quite some time. Clearly Apple has “survived”.
Well, my sister’s recent purchase will count in the July figures. She called me last week, wanting my advice after her PC’s motherboard fried. “Well, I’m a Mac guy, and an Apple shareholder, so of course I’d suggest looking at the Mac,” I told her. She was resistant because it was “so different” than Windows.
But in the end, she spent a few hours in the Apple Store and walked out with an iMac. She and her husband are just getting used to it, but so far seem to like it.
Wow. Apple will soon surpass the 20 million Mac per year rate. I remember not so long ago when 10 million Mac per year was a big deal.
Profitability is more important than unit sales, but once these stat mongers start counting Macs and iPads together, as “personal computers,” Apple will suddenly be at or near the top in the unit sales number too.
Count me as one. hmmm… wait. TWO.
