During the September quarter, Mac shipments grew 24.6 percent while the rest of the market only grew about 5.3 percent, making it the 22nd consecutive quarter where Apple\u2019s growth outpaced the computer market as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Much of this has been due to its growth in the business market, where it saw a 43.8 percent increase over the 4.8 percent the rest of the market saw. The home market had similar (if less dramatic) numbers, showing a 25.6 percent increase to the the total growth of four percent. In fact, the only place where it seemed to fall short of the industry as a whole was in its traditional stronghold of the \u201ceducation\u201d sector, where Apple\u2019s 2.9 percent growth is considerably lower than the 16.9 percent for the market in general.<\/p>\n<p>Both the business and home user gains seem to be due to the iPad and iPhone. While the iPad, with its simpler interface, seems to be eating into Mac sales\u00a0 (as well as other computers) in the education market, iDevice \u201chalo effect\u201d in businesses and homes has users buying the computer these devices were originally designed to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Can Apple keep up this monumental growth streak?
