      I know that this is Fedi and “Apple bad”, but iPads are great devices and if you get older versions second-hand they are usually worth the price. And since Apple is being forced into making these devices more open, they get better and better.

        i dont think ipads are the best. Samsungs tablets since the tab s7 do great. Have it for four years now heavily in use in school and university. Sideloading all the shit i want.

          I’m aware of Android capabilities, I’ve used Android phones since Gingerbread and have several tablets. I’m not saying iPad is “the best” for all use cases, but app availability is still much better on iPadOS. Android has been steadily catching up though.

        google and samsung suck just as much. Custom rom’s for the win. Besides on Android at least you dont have to use a google account and can use aurora store or apks. And you can easily set a filter to not allow any apps or system apps to use internet.

      Really depends what you value. Google is by far a worse company when it comes to privacy and data sovereignty. Apple is by far worse when it comes to using your device in the way you want to and driving anti consumer trends. Neither is a good company, neither has any competition.

      Because Apple set trends that the whole industry follows, and if nothing happens then every phone maker will bring this shit too.
