New IDC report claims worldwide PC shipments fell by 5% but revenue didn't, as 'vendors are pushing through price increases faster than demand is dropping'
A new IDC report indicates a 4.9% year-over-year decline in worldwide PC shipments during Q2, marking the first decrease after nine quarters of growth, largely attributed to the ongoing memory crisis. Despite falling unit sales for major manufacturers like Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Asus, overall revenue has increased due to vendors implementing faster price hikes than demand is dropping. Apple notably saw a 10% increase in shipments and market share during this period.
