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?

    Similarly to you, I hate some of the bullshit moves that Apple pull. But I installed windows in a VM, just to get an idea of where it’s at these days, and Jesus fucking christ, it’s abysmal.

    There’s just no way I could justify switching to that.

      Hmm…

        Correct. But the built-in advertising, tracking, spam and nerfed functionality is awful, too.
