Apple has low volume sales? You might have picked the wrong company for that example. Nvidia in the consumer market might fit, I would agree there.

>Apple has low volume sales?

In comparison. Android phones (in total) outsell iPhones because they are cheaper/more affordable. Sure Macs and iPhones may sell more than an individual non Apple brand, but collectively all together, the non-apple brands outsell Apple.

But it is certainly true that making high quality products doesn't necessarily mean low sales.

Apple has 70% of sales share and 80% of usage share in the US. Your comment is true world-wide, but this thread is about the US.

That’s a strange comparison. What we’re looking at here when we look at Apple is the market leader. They have the plurality of sales. You may as well add up the sales of every car company that isn’t Toyota and declare Toyota being out sold. It might be a true statement, but it doesn’t mean anything.
