I see a myriad of comments that boil down to “duh”, but I think these comments are missing the point.
Consider an alternate possibility: “sales of Apple’s new ARM macs outpaced by older models”.
Had Apple not knocked M1 out of the park, this was a real possibility. Is it surprising that a well executed architecture change is now selling well? Not really.
But the more interesting point is that the rest of the market agrees with us early adopters and tech nerds.
This would be a very different headline if devs were struggling to port their software, or if Rosetta 2 didn’t live up to its promise.
