Windows vs. Mac
Have you ever wanted to learn more about apple? It
defined the smartphone market with the iPhone, then reinvented personal
computing with the iPad. Growth was off the charts as consumers bought these products.
Then, things changed. Samsung caught up to it with smartphones, and arguably
leapt past it by releasing a bunch of phones with bigger screens. The tablet
market was super hot, but has stalled. As a result, Apple's growth has
slipped to single digits, and people started asking, "What's wrong with
Apple?" more often than talking about what's right. While it's
understandable that the buzz has died down, there's no escaping the fact that
Apple is still a gigantic company, the likes of which we rarely ever see again.
As a reminder, we've complied some mind-blowing facts about Apple's business.
Apple generated $43.7 billion in sales during the first three months of 2014.
That's more than Google, Amazon, and Facebook COMBINED. Tunes,
Apple’s online music, video, and app store, generated sales of $4 billion in
2010. That’s over $1 billion more than one of the world’s largest music
companies, Warner Music Group.d In
1983, Apple entered the Fortune 500 at #411 after being in existence for only
five years, making it the fastest growing company in history.h Apple
stores each sell an average of $93,150 worth of products every day, which is
equivalent to $3,900 an hour or $65 a minute every day of the year.aIn 2009,
Apple sold 40 million iPhones. That’s 4,583 sold per hour, 76 per minute, or
1.27 per second. The iPhone is sold in 89 countries.a Apple's
iPhone business generated $26 billion in revenue. Microsoft's ENTIRE business
generated $20.04 billion over the same period. The iPhone is growing faster
than Microsoft, too. Apple’s iPhone business generated $26 billion in revenue.

Besides having a strong brand and best-of-breed technology, Apple is also
targeting some of the fastest-growing markets. Take a look at the following
projections for Apple from some major firms.The MacBook Pro is a line of
Macintosh notebook computers by Apple for the professional market. First
announced on January 10, 2006 at the Macworld Expo by Apple CEO Steve Jobs[1],
the MacBook Pro was immediately available for pre-sale at online Apple Stores
worldwide, with deliveries beginning in mid-February 2006[2]. The MacBook Pro
was the successor to the 15-inch and 17-inch models of the PowerBook G4 series,
and was the first Macintosh laptop to be powered by the Intel Core Duo and Core
2 Duo processors. The MacBook Pro is currently available in two
size configurations: a 15.4-inch model first introduced on January 10, 2006 and
last revised on June 5, 2007, and a 17" model first introduced on April
24, 2006 and also last revised on June 5, 2007.[3] Alongside the iMac Core Duo, the MacBook Pro
represents Apple's first computers to feature Intel processors instead of
PowerPC processors, a transition that completed on August 7, 2006. Since the
introduction of the MacBook Pro, other lines have followed, including the
introduction of the Intel Core powered Mac mini on 28 February 2006 and the
consumer line of laptop computers, the MacBook on 16 May 2006. What I think about Apple is good. I have used it all my life. I love there iPads, iPods, macs,and iPhones. They don't break or mess up. If i have had one for too long they might get a system error, but we get them fixed.
