iPad sales were unusually high for 2020 and 2021 though due to work/study from home. It’s just gone back to normal levels now. Macs are still in the middle of the Apple chipset transition so I expect that’ll boost sales for a while.

And really, more than 50% of iPad sales are from the regular iPad. The iPad Pros represent a small fraction of the iPad market.

Personally, I’m okay with iPad Pro models fully cognizant of the fact that “Pro” just means more expensive. I use iPads for 8+ hours each day so I don’t mind paying extra for creature comforts (FaceID, higher storage capacity, cellular). If I consider $/hr cost, the iPads cost me so much less per hour than traditional computers since I tend to use them way more and iPad lifespan is more or less around the same as laptops now.

I don’t buy iPads to use them as Macs anyway. I got the iPad because I wanted a tablet and for that function, I find them better than other Android and Windows tablets/2-in-1s I’ve tried.
