Apple's Retail Unit Sales More Than Double In April
Thursday, May 20, 1999

Apple held the third largest share and showed the largest growth in the retail market during April, according to a report from PC Data.
PC Data reported that unit sales more than doubled for Apple from the year ago period, much greater than the 21% growth shown in the overall PC sector.
Apple took third in retail share, behind #2 Hewlett-Packard and #1 Compaq.
While average price declined for both Hewlett-Packard and Compaq, the average price rose from $1,306 in March to $1,369 in April.
Stephen Baker of PC Data said most growth was seen in the sub-$1,000 PC market as these computers made up 71% of all retail sales. Despite this, Apple's unit sales more than doubled as the iMac retails for $1,199 while the PowerMac's retail for more.
Meanwhile, Intel's Pentium III chip failed to make major inroads, accounting for only 7.8 percent of units sold.
