Macbook Sales To Skyrocket Next Year, Research Firm Says by jacobnnh: 10:12pm On Jan 04, 2021
Apple is expected to sell more laptops in 2021 than it did this year, according to research firm Finaria, with total shipments expected to reach 17.1 million units.

Furthermore, 2020 is also expected to produce a jump in MacBook shipments, as the Cupertino-based tech giant is believed to have sold 15.5 million units this year, an increase of 23 percent year over year, despite the crazy year 2020 has been.

It’s easy to see why Apple sold more laptops, however. With more people moving to working from home, sales of such devices skyrocketed, especially as they needed more efficient ways to remain productive outside of their normal office.

“The coronavirus pandemic changed that, as the global demand for PCs and laptops surged amid the lockdown. The company’s data show that Apple Mac sales in the first quarter of 2020 amounted to 3.5 million units, 6% less than in the same period a year ago,” Finaria says.

“In the second quarter, Apple sold 4.3 million Mac computers worldwide, a 5% jump year-over-year. The increasing trend continued in the third quarter of 2020, with Mac global shipments growing by 7% YoY to 5.5 million.”
New MacBooks coming next year

In the meantime, however, iPhones continue to be Apple’s very own superstar, and it’s still the number one device that brings home the bacon for the Cupertino tech giant, the report says.

“iPhone sale remains Apple’s largest revenue stream, generating 40.9% of profits in Q4 FY2020. Services, wearables, home and accessories, and iPad sales followed with 22.5%, 12.5% and 10.5%, respectively” FInaria says.

Apple is projected to unveil new devices next year too, including not only new MacBooks, but also a new-generation iPhone in September. New iPads are also likely, with a Pro model refresh expected in the spring of 2021.
