Report: Mac Sales Jumped 39% Last Month, iPod Sales Continue to Fall
Posted in: ipad, Mac, macbook, Today's ChiliSave the occasional iPhone leak, everything seems to be coming up roses in Cupertino. According to new numbers from Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster, April was another solid month for Apple computer sales, with a 39 percent increase from a year prior. According to those numbers, Apple managed to move between 3.1 and 3.2 million Macs in that quarter.
Okay, perhaps everything isn’t so rosy–iPod sales have continued to drop off, down 17 percent from a year prior. In the case of the digital music player space, however, it seems that Apple is cannibalizing its own sales, first with the iPhone and now with the iPad, both of which are selling like gangbusters.
According to Munster, “From the early NPD data, it appears that the iPad has a minimal cannibalization impact on Mac sales, and could be slightly cannibalizing iPod sales.”
