Affected by this, the market share of MacBook will exceed double digits for the first time, reaching 10.8%, a five-year high.

Apple is expected to release new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in the near future. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to host an event next month focused on Macs and iPads.
