IDC said the downturn has caused elevated inventory levels for longer than anticipated, and that no PC maker has been immune. Among leading computer markers, Apple and HP were the only ones that didn’t experience double-digit declines during the second quarter.
Mac shipments increased 10.3 percent year-over-year, due in part to supply issues Cupertino experienced in 2022. HP, meanwhile, saw shipment declines narrow to 0.8 percent compared to Q2 2022 as its inventory has finally started normalizing.
