Apple may be enjoying the success of its new iPhone 6s, but now company is bit in concerned with the drop of sales of its MacBooks and iMacs

As IDC reporting a 3.4 percent decline in Mac units shipped and research firm Gartner reporting slowing growth of 1.5 percent in the third quarter.

Both numbers point to the lowest growth rate in two years, according to a famous newspaper.

Apple isn’t alone in facing slowing growth, as the broader industry grapples with fewer people feeling the need to buy new desktop computers and laptops.

The PC market suffered an 11 percent decline, which was worse than previously expected, said IDC.

Microsoft, Apple’s main rival in the computing market, is hoping to win back some of that share for its partners and itself with its recently released Windows 10 software, which will be pre-installed on most non-Apple computer sold over the next year.

Microsoft has also just released its first ever laptop, the Surface Book, putting it in direct competition with not only Apple, but other PC makers that make Windows 10 devices.
