Notes:
1. Figures for Apple are actual unit shipments for the periods, obtained from investor.apple.com
2. Figures for all other manufacturers are "preliminary estimates" from IDC (12 Jan 2015)
Note the last column comparing shipment growth against the same quarter that I posted here nine years ago; this really shows your long-term winners in a way even year/year comparisons can’t. |
