Apple is among the top 20 online stores in the UK - but online sales are slowing as the credit crunch grips the UK, and hardcore users await new Mac models.
IMRG-Hitwise this week published its UK Hot Shops List for August 2008, representing which online destinations were the most widely used.
As one might expect, Amazon UK heads the list, pursued by the online retail front for Argos, Play, and Tesco in second, third and fourth place respectively.
Dell (17), Apple (19) and HP (48) fell four, seventeen and nine places respectively from their rankings in May, and three, eleven and five places on the year.
MRG's CEO, James Roper, comments: "With the market hardening under the daily hammer blows of worsening economic news, one would expect more volatility within the List. It is a measure of the competence that sets these brands out as market leaders that they consistently continue to attract high customer traffic volumes, even under harsh trading conditions."
