This year, 44% of new phone and tablet activations were Apple devices with Samsung seeing 21%. While Samsung is slowly growing in popularity throughout the holiday season, up 1% from last year, Apple devices continue to be the gift to give. Holding the third and fourth positions for activations are Huawei and LG; which is remarkable, as both manufacturers do not have an individual device within the top 35 devices activated. Their high rank is likely due to the fact that they have wide variety of devices and affordable options (hundreds of phablet and medium phones) for consumers to choose from. Perhaps not so surprisingly, missing from this chart is the Google Pixel. With only two devices, the Pixel and Pixel XL, and mixed market reception, Google struggled to drum up excitement this holiday season.
They still have the best laptops. Everything else on the market is a glorified Facebook machine.
Apple laptops/computers are a complete joke in terms of power (thus, a complete joke overall). A $4,300 MacBook Pro can't even game as good as a $1,000 PC/laptop

Eeeehh for the money, I'd expect more. I know they've always been pricey but the newest gen doesn't justify the price. Their only advantage is MacOS. Like RBF said, you can buy a PC that's a beast for a fraction. Apple should at least be closer to par.
