According to Gartner's latest numbers, published on This afternoon, amid an ongoing decline of the worldwide PC shipments, Apple only managed to ship 4.6 million units over the third quarter, down 5.6 percent year over year. The performance was good enough to capture 6.9 percent of the market, identical to Apple's second-quarter results as determined by the market research firm.
Apple's market share for the quarter was down from 7 percent in the third quarter of 2016. Apple was ranked the number five worldwide PC vendor after HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Asus.
