I wonder how this compares to PC sales, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this is an industry-wide decline.

Laptop sales are expected to rise year on year.

This is an Apple problem, likely because of their price point. Apple's previous advantage was usability, but they pivoted to luxury. Luxury demand goes down when markets are surpressed, but the demand for utility does not.

I’ve been wanting to buy one for a while, but they are a bit too expensive.

If the base model had at least 512gb ssd and 16gb ram, then I would have purchased one. I just keep waiting to buy until this is the case.
