To begin, my entire household is Google. I have Google TVs on my TVs, Samsung tablet, Google Home tablet thingy, 4 Google speakers, Nest thermostat, and my wife and I have Samsung phones. Neither of us have ever owned an iPhone.

Nothing against them at all, theyre just not my thing. And she had a Galaxy S2 when I met her.

But let’s be real, Android tablets SUCK. I had a Tab 3 I believe and my kids Tab A 10.1 inch just died recently for no reason. Even when they did work, they were slow. Way too slow.

Now I’m not switching to iPhone, not in 10 years. But they got this tablet thing DOWN. We use iPads at work and they were recently updated, but even the new ones are just as fast as the old ones. I noticed nothing new. Which in my opinion is great.

So would it make sense to have an iPad for my kids to use at home? I’m also really interested in Air Tags.

    I have an iPad Pro 12.9 M1 and an iPad Mini 6 but I much prefer my Samsung Tab S9+ (now on Android 14). I haven’t touched the iPads in a long time since I got it.

    If you haven’t tried a flagship Android tablet like this, you are missing out. It has nothing to to with older tablets that you mentioned.

    Tab S9+ has an amazing OLED screen and is very smooth (120hz). It has the incredible specs (I have the 12GB RAM 512GB 5G version) and it’s very versatile. And with the Samsung keyboard case (detachable keyboard, variable stand) and DeX mode it can work as a laptop much more than an iPad.

    I agree iPads are reliable and easy to use and make a good choice for kids to use at home.

    But saying Samsung tablets are bad is just wrong.
