I feel like “so easy to implement” still understates it. It is literally the default option: don’t crate and enfore a dumb rule. They have to go out of their way to make their product shittier.
Also, you should not buy an apple product, if for no other reason, than because they can just change their mind at any time. As long as the appstore is the only way to install apps, you have no control over your own device.
The problem is that Android tablets in the US have little competition, allowing for very high prices. The Samsung Tab S9 series are more expensive than the iPad pros.
Also, basically all non-budget Android tablets outside of Samsung has copied Apple’s anti-consumer decisions to remove the headphone jack and MicroSD slot from their tablets. There’s not much reason to buy an Android tablet as Apple literally gives you superior performance per dollar.
Also in my case, my current iPad is the only way I can use iMessage, which is how almost all of my friends communicate. And, the iPad really does have the superior stylus experience with the Apple Pencil (I have one, and it works great).
One of the biggest weaknesses of the iPad is no true Firefox, which means that your best way to browse the web is through adblock Plus, or Brave browser. They block most ads, but don’t provide the blanket security and powerful features of uBlock origin.
Fixing this one thing hugely swings the pendulum from “lean Android” to “likely Apple” for me. It turns the 6/10 product into a 7/10. And allowing sideloading would turn the decision into a no-brainer, as the iPad would suddenly turn into a 9/10.
Interesting. I’ve never tried the S pen, and I thought reviews leaned towards the Apple Pencil. And every other stylus experience I’ve tried so far is subpar. I should give the S Pen a try.
Unlike Apple the Samsung tablets come packaged with the pen and are designed with a special layer on the screen dedicated to sense the pen. Apple barely has two models of the pencil with the latest being from 2018. There’s an S pen for every generation of galaxy tablets but most tablets and the flagship phones are compatible with the newest pens. The samsung software also has some unique features like the hover gestures that make it magical to use the S pen.

I laugh at you in S pen. Having tried both, Apple pencil feels like a knockoff S pen.
