The State of the Mac: Alive, Well, and Not Going Anywhere

It is reasonable to question the long-term future of Apple's 28-year-old Mac business.
While the Mac set another all-time sales record last quarter, and is still growing, iOS is now clearly Apple's most important platform. Apple also continues to re-shape the Mac experience in the iOS vision, leading some to speculate that future Macs will simply run a converged OS.
But in reality, the Mac isn't going anywhere. It may not be growing as quickly as the rest of Apple, but it's still a crucial part of the Apple story, and will be for at least another decade - if not much longer.
