Based on Apple’s market share falls/rises, depending on who you ask
U.S. Mac Market Share
1Q 2005: 3.8%
1Q 2006 (ZDNet): 3.5%
1Q 2006 (AI): 3.6%
Worldwide Mac Market Share
1Q 2005: 2.2%
1Q 2006 (ZDNet): 2.3%
1Q 2006 (AI): 2.0%
That means only 3.9% MAC users in the U.S and 2% World Wide? But what does market shrea really mean? Market share in computers is the percentage/amount of computer units sold in a fiscal quarter vs. user installed base (the total actual amount of Mac owners out there). So these figures don’t show how many Mac users there are at any time.
