iPad Pros are often used in music production too. There’s plenty of heavier duty non-casual sitting on the couch watching TV type use cases it’s used for and it’s targeted at.

Art professionals usually don't use iPads although I'm sure some do. Most seem to prefer Wacom. Unlike, eg a laptop, portability isn't usually a major professional need for an art workstation.

  To the contrary, art professionals use the top-tier iPads professionally more than anyone else, in my experience. You use a Wacom for some things, but the iPad has the gigantic advantage that your image is directly underneath your Pencil. And, of course, that you can take it with you. The iPad isn't a substitute for a workstation. But it's a huge complement -- both for creating things visually, as well as managing/showcasing all your media on the go. Professional artists are often going to a lot of meetings with different clients or team members around the city.

    Wacom makes Centiqs which are very popular pen on screen monitors if you prefer that style, so the iPad doesn't bring much there. I would say the vast majority of artists do not travel and do not need to draw mid-meeting. Certainly there are exceptions but they are just that, exceptions.

      Centiqs may be great, but I've seen 100 artists using an iPad for every 1 artist I've seen using a Centiq. I would say the vast majority of artists do have client meetings, whether they're employed full-time or freelance. And artists need to work on the go just like the rest of us. Whether it's a dad trying to do 30 min of video editing in his car while he waits for daycare to get out, or somebody in the city doing an hour of website design in a cafe while they wait for their next meeting. I'm baffled by your assertion that artists don't use iPads or shouldn't need them. It's just not the case, if you work with professional artists.

        Interesting, I've worked in large game studios with many 2d and 3d digital artists and they just don't use iPads. It could be a specific industry thing or a regional thing but even during the early hybrid work days I would see artists haul in and pack up their Centiqs. IPads were not in the conversation. I will say that it's a major disconnect in our experience that you would say the majority of artists are directly client facing. What company/industry is buying their artists iPads?
