[Fiercelectronics.com](http://Fiercelectronics.com) described it as “_ **the most in 40 years** _”.

It was the largest decrease in history, and the eighth consecutive quarter of decreasing smartphone sales. In the 2nd Quarter of 2023, international PC sales **decreased by 15%** , year-over-year. Counterpoint Research offered no suggestion as to why the decrease might have taken place. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

Counterpoint Research described it as a “_ **rebound** _”, and “_ **normalizing demand** _”.

On July 18, 2023, [counterpointresearch.com](http://counterpointresearch.com) said “Global PC Shipments _ **Fall** _ 15% YoY in Q2 2023”.
