Looks like the iPad Pro is leading sales

New report from CIRP shows that the iPad Pro is the best selling iPad right now. In the second quarter of this year from April to June, iPad Pro sales made up 43% of total iPad sales

No one seems to be interested in the Air, which sits between the Pro and the regular version.

This surprises me, I thought the Air was more popular than that.

People really go for the premium or budget choices, not much for the middle option.

I’ve only seen one Pro in real life, maybe that’s just me. I always pick the Air because it’s enough of an upgrade over the regular iPad, but the Pro just doesn’t seem worth the extra cost.

A big part of Apple’s user base is artists, designers, and music makers. Most of these people usually buy a Pro and probably have the funds to afford it.

Art, video, and music apps can demand a lot of CPU, RAM, and storage. Plus, you often need to store a lot of files.

If I’m not an artist, I’m likely getting an Air. You’re spot on. The artists I know, even if they are not in the Apple ecosystem like I am, have an iPad Pro, especially after the M chips came out.

Yep, I use the 11 inch M4 for digital art.

I’m an artist and financially tight. What kind of art do you need to do to afford M4 Pros?

I’m a minor, I don’t pay bills so I have some spare cash for the M4.

I’m an artist who earns from my work, and I use the base iPad 6th gen. You definitely don’t need the Pro. The only reason I’m upgrading soon is because mine got damaged in a bad drop.

You can be an artist and still have a non-art job.

Sure, but a lot of people in this comment section seem to be artists who can afford these upgrades.

They might have something to hold onto even if they don’t admit it because art doesn’t always pay unless you’re in a specific field. Credit cards help a lot too; I buy mine using a credit card because I can’t pay that all in cash.

The Air is sufficient for what most people need. It’s engineers, surveyors, and architects who would want features like LIDAR.
