After a few years of frustration with trying to make my iPad useful for coding, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and keyboard case for about 200GBP. Install Termux from the Google Play store (no warranty voiding rooting required). `apt install clang` and off you go.

The iPad I had before this was undoubtedly prettier and had a better UI, but the cheapest iPad is twice this price and after years of buying apps, faffing with file sharing, and even porting one or two interpreters across to iOS I never managed what takes 10 minutes on Android.
