Depends on usage. There are apps that are either exclusive to ipads or have better software experience in ipads (example, procreate)
If I’m asked about tablets and all the user told me are apps that are included in playstore, then i usually recommend android (not particularly samsung). If they tell me they will need a pen, and is very particular with pen performance, that’s the time i recommend a samsung product.
As for me, i bought a samsung tablet for drawing. Im not a hardcore artist so sketchbook is good enuf for me, never considered an ipad. But if not for the spen heck I won’t even consider a samsung.
That’s why it’s better to ask all subreddits. And carefully determine quality comments from fan comments. And beyond that, in depth searching about each product is important. Reddit, youtube, Facebook, even comments from gsmarena, as extensive as possible. Even when watching youtube reviews, it’s important to discern the reviewers’ biases.
