Why a "cheap" iPad instead of a much cheaper Android tablet?
3 comments

Tablets have been first class members of the iOS ecosystem for a decade. Even more so after the release of iPadOS.

Android tablets don’t get any specific APIs or special treatment on Android.

Because android ignored their tablet UI for years and are now optimising it for folding phones.
Because it's been working just fine(tm) for at least 5 years. Maybe more, i forgot how old it is.
