Right now, iPads make up just 8% of Apple’s total revenue.

But how exactly will the iPad Pro fix Apple’s iPad problem?

A new report from the IDC says that detachable tablets (like the iPad Pro and Microsoft’s Surface tablets) will drive tablet growth in 2016.

In fact, IDC says that the detachable tablet segment will grow by 75% next year.

That sounds great. But what does this mean for Apple?

“The transition to detachable tablets also ushers in two other key trends:
the growth of Windows and a turnaround for Apple's iPad device
line.” — Jitesh Ubrani, IDC

A tale of two processors
So how does Apple win the detachable tablet market?
![Page 13: Here's One Thing That Could Save Apple's iPads in 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070516/587378381a28ab3c1a8b6c0b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IDC believes the iPad Pro could help Apple gain tablet market in the coming years, if it focuses on enterprise and prosumer markets.

Which means we’ll have to wait until next year to see if Apple can follow through on that strategy and start pushing its tablet sales in the right direction.
