Apple's customers have more money in general, or else they would not
be blowing money on Apple products to begin with.  But Mac sales *are*

given that a Mac typically costs 4-10 times what an ipad or iphone costs.
It is not necessarily an indicator of product preference for a phone
or tablet versus a traditional computer.
