> It's been 7 years of Apple Silicon and the macOS market share really hasn't shifted much
Indeed, but a local LLM finishing in 3 days instead of 1 on a $40k GPU changes the economic decision priority for some.
Apple sales grew "21.3% year-over-year as of the second quarter of 2025", but also sales flattened as supply chain pricing shocks from "AI"/tariffs hit late last year.
"Judging by Nvidia's current valuation" is a bad bet with current circular investment conditions.
We shall see, but as EOL drivers and OS rot hits legacy NVIDIA hardware... people are going to have to find some compromise in the next 2 years. Even AMD 9850X3D currently cost less than 64G of low end PC ddr5 memory.
Acktually ahem not to be that guy but to be that guy haha (insert me here) …
Apple’s Mac market share of the PC market went from 6.6% to 9% (https://www.cultofmac.com/news/mac-shipments-2025-apple) so that’s nothing to balk at. The MacBook Neo might grow that even more as maybe it converts low end buyers into locked in users in the ecosystem and then they move on to more Mac’s.
Depending on the specific reporting period that data also seems consistent. But thanks for citing your source, as some otherwise great folks don't bother to check past Google Gemini nonsense when it starts lying.
Apples only issue is its walled garden ecosystem eliminates most small/medium software studio content. In a way, the FOSS projects have greatly increased the MacOS software options available, and the recent Steam port is very promising.
Win11 has caused a massive shift in users to posix like systems. This will only improve most of the ecosystem. =3
