I use an iPad. The thing I like most about it is Procreate, amazing (and cheap) drawing app which is only on iOS. Procreate would legitimately make me get an iPad by itself if I didn’t have one. Even if Photoshop is good, drawing on a computer has never been as intuitive as drawing on a tablet and I’m so used to Procreate by now.
iOS has gotten a lot better over the last 15? years but I mean… they really obsolete and slow down devices fast. Aside from that everything related to these devices is so expensive and now you’re forced to be without a proper headphone jack. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted or tried to voice chat on Discord and I can’t because the iPad is dying and I need the headphone mics to talk properly but the adapter uses the charging slot. I do keep it charged, but it still happens a lot. The adapters are just terrible quality and break so easily too. I keep getting disconnected from Discord calls because of the adapter messing up and it thinks I want to end the call like I pressed something on my headphones? I refuse to use wireless headphones, they’re more junk that need charging.
Now those things are more bearable for iPads to me. I don’t necessarily need to have a headphone jack on a tablet even though I think it’s a terrible design choice, just cheap manufacturing. However, on a phone, having no headphone jack is absolutely unbearable and pushes me away from iPhones completely. I’m not really fond of either OS but at least I have more freedom on Android? I’d rather have a dumb phone and it opens Android up to more malware so I guess that isn’t much of a selling point. But! In the end I can still buy some Android phones with proper jacks, for now. I can put whatever music I want on them too (edit: I forgot iOS can download MP3s and play them in the file app, even if that isn’t great), although honestly, I want a dedicated MP3 player to spare my battery anyway.
Also I’m going to second the point of it being easier to transfer files from Android- I have a lot of precious stuff on an old iPad and getting things off it was such a pain.
