Procreate is great, and reason alone to buy an iPad if you are a digital artist. But Apple's Flow and Notes will probably grow in capability over time. Apple is also building in AI image generation, which arguably replaces not just Procreate but also the artists who use it. ;-(

Apple's "pro" apps - Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro - are fairly successful in their categories. Personally I'm a big fan of GarageBand, especially on iOS. MainStage is also kind of cool. I wish Aperture hadn't been killed before its time.

And I still find that I use Preview, Safari, Mail, Terminal are on a day-to-day basis even though I have some good alternatives in each category. Keynote is my go-to presentation program even though I also have PowerPoint.




Final Cut Pro is not even used to create the Apple marketing videos.


It's popular enough that professionals banned together in 2022 to write an open letter to Apple complaining about it. ;-)


„…the letter then complaints some of its signees cannot use it for their work. "Work that could easily include productions for your very own Apple TV+ service," it states.“

I wouldn’t exactly call that popular or successful.

Logic Pro is quite widely in use in some areas though.
