[...] Certains analyste accordent 10 millions de Mac vendus pour cette année 2009, ce qui serait le record absolu pour la marque à la pomme. Depuis le retour à la barre du mythique fondateur Steve Jobs, l’entreprise engrange les succès, initié par l’iMac en 1998. Malgré un doublement de sa part de marché en 5 ans, Apple atteint péniblement les 4% au niveau mondial des PC (hé oui ! des PC…). Ce petit chiffre est néanmoins à relativiser. Premièrement, le C.A. d’Apple, sa capitalisation boursière, sa marge brute sont excellente. Au niveau économique Apple, malgré “sa petite PDM”, se hisse au plus haut niveau des entreprises du domaine. Deuxièmement, il faut savoir jeter un oeil sur ce qui fait Apple aujourd’hui, et on est loin du vendeur de Macintosh du début. Tour d’horizon : [...]

I think the original iMac, and Jobs role in bringing it to market, saved the company. Not only did it make the company profitable and result in record Mac sales, the iMac proved Apple still had the magic. Without the iMac, I don’t think Apple would have made it to the iPod.

What the graph here does not show is the continued losses before to his return, being profitable in 98, 99 & 00 may not the success of recent years but certainly a turn around for the company. Most of which was a result of him cutting projects.

The most interesting thing is when comparing all those numbers is that it took 8 years before Steve Jobs had any significant impact on Apple sales, revenue, or profitability!

That isn’t the miracle turn around that everyone talks about.

It wasn’t until the iPod became a success in 2005 that there is any major upturn in their annual results.

“If the economy of 2010 looks like 2009, isn’t it reasonable to presume Mac sales next year will be similar to this year?”

Actual sales, or sales growth? If sales were “similar” then growth would be flat; I disagree that would happen. If sales growth were similar then overall sales would rise; this is what I’d predict.

But if the economy improves, all bets are off…

“even if the economy improves, it’s not going to be like it was before the recession for a while”

Not sure I agree here. At least not when netbooks are the argument. I don’t believe netbooks have had even a smidgeon of impact on Mac sales. None.

Excluding the tiny geek market, netbook sales have come from either those unwilling to pay $600 for a cheap laptop, or those that feel they saved money by not buying the cheap laptop. Neither of those buyers were getting a Mac anyway. I don’t believe any netbook represents a lost Mac sale.

There are two related issues here. First, the current economic climate could turn out to be a double-dip recession. If the economy of 2010 looks like 2009, isn’t it reasonable to presume Mac sales next year will be similar to this year? Second, even if the economy improves, it’s not going to be like it was before the recession for a while. While Apple will continue to grow Mac sales, look to Toshiba and Acer for crazy-insane growth via netbook sales. While netbooks will always have drawbacks, price will never be one of them.
