Overall, the IDC shows that the tech giant maintained its 5th place position, but showed steady growth by shipping a total of 5.75 million units and growing 18.9 percent year-over-year.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/apple-projected-have-shipped-575-million-macs-q4-2014' title="Apple projected to have shipped 5.7 million Macs in Q4 2014"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/01/idc-q4-2014-shipments-screenshot.png?itok=WD5yTIEO' />[/url]</p> <p>As far as domestic shipments are concerned, Apple managed to hold onto its third-place standing, right behind HP and Dell. Its Mac shipments grew 18.1 percent year-over-year with a total of 2.24 million units shipped in the United States.</p> <p>These numbers, if correct, are a sizable jump over Apple's previous quarter (http://www.imore.com/apple-shipped-49-million-macs-q3-2014), which saw the company shipping 4.98 million units worldwide and growing 8.9 percent year-over-year.</p> <p>The fourth quarter 2014 numbers could also represent a record quarter for Apple. 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/12/idc-q4-2014-pc-growth-better-than-expected-all-time-high-for-macs-predicted/) writes:</p>

<p>As Ben Bajarin notes, this 5.75 million number (if accurate) would mean that the 2014 holiday quarter is Apple's best all-time quarter for Mac sales.</p>
