PC and Mac Shipments Decline, Gartner Reporters Claim
According to the latest report from Gartner, worldwide PC shipments have declined by 9.5% in the second quarter of 2015. As noted by the analysts, this is the most noticeable decline since Q3 2013. PC vendors managed to sell 68.4 million computers in the past months.
If to speak about the Mac sales in the second quarter of this year, they saw a decline as well. The sales of Apple computers fell only by 2.5%. It should be pointed out, however, that this number represents only the sales results in the United States of America, where Apple products are incredibly popular among the customers. You can take a look at the detailed description of PC and Mac sales results in the chart below.
Apple Launches iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 El Capitan Public Beta Testing Program

If you have a compatible device, you can try the new pre-release software right now. To download and install iOS 9 or OS X 10.11 El Capitan, you need to sign up for Apple’s public beta testing program. You can do this on Apple’s official website for beta testers. However, as usual, I don’t recommend you to update your devices to these betas as they may be quite unstable.
