Apple Mac sales rise 37 per cent
New research shows sales of Apple’s Mac computers have been buoyed by the release of the iPad and a new version of its iPhone. Some analysts had speculated the devices could cannibalise Apple’s existing product range but sales in the US of its laptop and desktop computers are up 37 per cent year-on-year for the three months to May. The rise has been credited to the buzz surrounding the brand after the roaring success of both launches. The iPad has already surpassed 3m sales in as many months. The iPhone has also sold out despite apparent problems with its radio antenna that can stop the phone from receiving a signal if held “incorrectly”.
