According to IDC, iOS devices sell more than the whole Windows market (all brands).

PC sales were 60 million, taking Apple's share of 4.2 million, it's 56 million, give or take.

Last year, Apple in this period sold 51 million iPhones, 10 million iPads. And it was a "bad" year.

You might say "but I need my desktop, my IDE, my Photoshop, my etc."

Yeah, but you are one programmer or photographer or video editor, most people don't create anything, or just do some very light editing (like removing skin imperfections from photos), and thus, a media consumption device is most right.

We are in the Post-PC world, live with it.




For Apple I think you are referring to quarterly sells


Figures are for quarterly sales in both cases, of course.
