RBC analyst Mike Abramsky predicts "massive" September quarter Mac sales, anticipating Apple could shift an unprecedented 3.04 million Macs in the quarter.
The analyst attributes some of these sales to the back to school market; but points out that the iPhone and iPod halos are also playing their part.
To achieve 3.04 million Mac sales would represent growth of 41 per cent, year-in-year, and 22 per cent sequentially.
Abramsky expects Apple's global marketshare to hit 4.2 per cent in 2009, up from 2.9 per cent in 2007.
