Apple sold the following in each year:

93 3.3 million
94 3.8 million
95 4.5 million
96 4.0 million
97 2.8 million
98 2.7 million
99 3.5 million
00 4.5 million
01 3.0 million
02 3.0 million

What does this tell us? Apple isn't dying off. They are preserving essentially the same sales but experience natural cycles in hardware and software which means that some year they will have sales spurts and others they will have shortfalls. However, these numbers do not indicate any decline.
