Not really surprised. I genuinely prefer Android phones these days, which would have shocked most of my friends a few years ago since I used to be the biggest Apple fanboy.
But when it comes to tablets, Android still doesn’t come close to the iPad experience.
I used to think iPadOS was just a bigger version of iOS. Then I got an overpriced Samsung Tab through work. Honestly, it’s terrible.
I also have an Android phone, and the tablet really just feels like a larger phone. Most apps aren’t even optimized for tablets properly.
Having said that, I also use my iPad hardly anymore since I got a Folding phone now.
I bought a Pixel tablet because for the intended use case it absolutely needed separate user accounts, but it's otherwise a very subpar experience. Completely agree that the app landscape is dreadful. It's somewhat mitigated by the fact that I can use Firefox with proper plugins, but I would not recommend an Android tablet to anyone unless they are very clear what they're getting into.
