||2003|2002|2001|
|Net sales|$6,207|$5,742|$5,363|

|Gross margin|$1,708|$1,603|$1,235|
|Gross margin percentage|27.5%|27.9%|23.0%|
 gross margin decreased to 27.5% ( 27.5 % ) of net sales in 2003 from 27.9% ( 27.9 % ) of net sales in 2002 . this decline in gross margin reflects relatively aggressive pricing actions on several macintosh models instituted by the company beginning in late fiscal 2002 as a result of continued pricing pressure throughout the personal computer industry , lower sales of relatively higher margin power macintosh systems during the first three fiscal quarters of 2003 , and increased air freight and manufacturing costs associated with the production ramp-up of the new power mac g5 and 15-inch powerbook , both of which began shipping in volume during september 2003 . this decline is also attributable to a rise in certain component costs as the year progressed . the aforementioned negative factors affecting gross margins during 2003 were partially offset by the increase in higher margin software and direct sales . the company anticipates that its gross margin and the gross margin of the overall personal computer industry will remain under pressure throughout fiscal 2004 in light of weak economic conditions , price competition in the personal computer industry , and potential increases in component pricing . the company also expects to continue to incur air freight charges on the power mac g5 and other products during 2004 . the foregoing statements regarding the company 2019s expected gross margin during 2004 , general demand for personal computers , anticipated industry component pricing , anticipated air freight charges , and future economic conditions are forward-looking . there can be no assurance that current gross margins will be maintained , targeted gross margin levels will be achieved , or current margins on existing individual products will be maintained . in general , gross margins and margins on individual products will remain under .
