That makes sense in gardening, and certainly applies in Apple’s case. Seventeenth-century French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (better known as Moliere) put it this way: “The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.”
That’s where the market is going, which means any Apple-focused MDM solution cannot be limited by the other platforms they support. That’s not intended as a slam against the companies in that space that do support all operating systems - I see the good work you do - just to point out that the focus remains on Apple. What I think I’m seeing is more movement toward mergers and acquisitions affecting those vendors that try to serve multiple operating systems, while integrated single vendor firms seem to be thriving a little more. You can also discern the direction of travel in the MDM enterprise markets. Look closely and you may recognize that, for a generation at least, the company seems set to continue this progress, particularly around mobile devices. The tech professionals who read Computerworld are surely already experiencing that as multitudinous surveys show the ascent of Apple in the enterprise. I don’t need to repeat myself with how these gains in consumer markets are also delivering benefits in enterprise IT. It’s also generating larger share in emerging economies.
While we may see some weakness in the current quarter (financial results will be out later today) and relative disappointment during any recession, the momentum favors Apple. When it comes to smartphones, Apple is experiencing steady increases in its industry share it leads when it comes to wearables, and even the tablet industry (which consists of iPads, but also covers low budget, low power slates) delivers strong numbers. That’s why Macs now account for 10.8% of all global PC shipments and 17% in the US.īut this isn’t just happening to the Mac. IDC results for 2019-2022 show that across the last three years the Mac has seen a 60% increase in market share while the PC market grew 6%, as Jamf CEO Dean Hager has pointed out.
