Another thing those links show is ... that last quarter Apple sold about the same number of iPhones as all vendors of Windows computers, combined. 80,772K total computers - 5,519K Macs ----------- 75,253K non-Mac computers vs. 74,468K iPhones It's no wonder Apple is the most profitable company in the world.

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 (09 Apr 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.
