I've not long ago got an apple phone, im now looking at getting a new tablet. I always used Samsung phones and tablets. But had bad experience with Samsung so that's why I switched to iPhone, but who uses that apple tablets and are that easy to use and any good ? Any information would be great

Android.

Apple have too much control, their hardware their operating system, then they go and slow you down and finally obsolete your hardware with their bloatware updates etc.

I have both, one system for work and one for personal use, refused to have a new iPhone recently, there's a reason Samsung sell more phones than anyone else.

I have had 2 iPad Air to date and found them both spot on

First one the battery life started to go and it started to split as a result but I had it a lot of years and used it regular. The only downside is that they are expensive so a Samsung tab etc might be another option if this is the main driver

As with the phones, I love the apple stuff and the operating system

I have always used apple Phones and i pads, got both for personal and work use.

I like the way they're linked with the apple ID, so notes, photos etc you take on your phone are automatically updated to your i pad and vice versa.


However the missus has an i pad and Samsung phone, she wont change to an apple phone as she likes the Samsungs, but wont change from her iPad to a Samsung tablet either.

So i suppose it's what ever you prefer.

Had an iPad but they wanted silly money when i was looking into a new one. Ended up with a Samsung for a fraction of the price and not had any issues.

It's all about software upgrade- ability at the end of the day Apple products have a longer life due to IOS gives such a long lifetime.
And from a hardware perspective android OS based products not as robust / long lived from Sansumg offerings to a multitude of Chinese brands..
It's a pain in the rear updating so the longer I can wait the better imho

The problem there is you will be missing critical security updates and won't be able to update to the latest apps.
