AI Summary:
Apple’s first-quarter earnings report revealed a mixed performance. While overall sales increased by 4%, iPhone sales showed weakness, particularly in China, where they declined by over 11%. CEO Tim Cook attributed this partly to the lack of Apple Intelligence in China and inventory changes. However, the Mac, iPad, and Services categories saw significant growth, with Services up 14% and both the Mac and iPad up 15%. The company reported $36.33 billion in net revenue, a 7.1% increase from the previous year.
There’s absolutely no way organizations are replacing Windows computers with Macs that would be an insane thing to do.
There was very poor corporate support for Mac OS, a cheap Dell is always going to be a better proposition for large-scale deployment, people know how to use Windows computers, corporate software generally isn’t cross OS compatible because traditionally that has never been a requirement, and it would require upgrading all of the server backend and rewriting all the knowledge articles.
It just straight up isn’t going to happen.
