Yesterday the market data was released, and…. (drum roll)…. iMAC WAS THE NUMBER ONE SELLING COMPUTER IN THE U.S. during the month of November in U.S. retail and mail order channels, outselling all other brands!!
iMac captured 7.1% of unit volume and 8.2% of dollar volume, propelling Apple's overall market share in retail and mail order to double from about 5% in August to 10% in November. You can read all about it on our website (www.apple.com in hot news section) or in today's Wall Street Journal (US Edition, page A1 and B7).
This incredible achievement is the result of our hard work. Please take a moment and reflect on how far we have come in the last 18 months. It's amazing what we have all accomplished together. I am very proud of our team, and feel so excited to be at Apple. Have a wonderful holiday.
