Even as overall PC shipments grew 12% in 2003, Apple´s computer shipments were flat for the year, according to research firm Fulcrum Global Partners quoted in Wall Street Journal. At the end of March, Apple dropped out of research firm IDC´s top 10 list of world-wide computer makers for the first time ever. Apple´s share of the global computer market has eroded across the home, business and government markets over the past year, dropping to 1.7% overall at the end of March, down from 1.8% in early 2003, says Gartner ( though its share is up in the education market). And in the company´s last fiscal quarter, Apple´s computer sales were sequentially flat or down across all models, particularly for its flagship iMac desktops.

Pour ceux qui pigent pas l´anglais : en 2004, pour la première fois de son histoire, Apple ne figure pas dans le top 10 des ventes d´ordinateurs ( classement par fabricants). En termes de pourcentage, la part de marché de Apple est inférieure à 2%.
Pour mémoire, en 2003 155 millions de micro-ordinateurs ont été vendus. Apple a vendu environ 2,5 millions de macs.
