Not sure I would call it a Mac issue. The rate of growth of Mac sales
have slowed from last year in Q4 (2.8% up) but that's better than the
overall PC market which shrank (8.3% down). Might just be an indication
of overall market trends. That said, PCs (in the generic sense) tend to
be more durable than mobile devices which get replaced far more often
and generally cost more. So maybe the PC market is just getting
saturated. My wife's MacBook is now 8 years old and still works fine. In
that same time period she went through three phones. Maybe not typical
but I wouldn't declare the death of the PC platform based just on unit
sales.

I’d watch it. The bits you’re interested in are at the start, where Apple talk
about recycling, and the end, where Apple proclaim that it’s “Really sad” that
people are using PCs that are five years old.
Me? Cynical? Never! :)
I think the Mac is dead, anyway. Well, if you disagree, cool beans, but I
think it’s fairly evident that Macs fall under the general umbrella of PCs.
And, don’t you think it’s fairly apparent from the non-appearance of new Macs
and the quality of OS X nowadays?
