A very simple question, why when someone asks, for example, Galaxy Tab vs ipad on r/samsung, we (as community) actually consider recommending the iPad, instead of saying that only Samsung is an option?
If you ask the same question on the apple community they will laugh at you for even comparing an Android device with apple, and they will tell you that apple is your only friend.
Shouldn’t we consider that we actually influence someone’s decisions, and knowing this, recommend only Samsung devices, we are not here to praise apple.
What do u think about this?
There is a definite “cool kid” factor among Apple users. To suggest that an Android device might be better is to show your true colors – as uncool.
But maybe the iPad is better. I’ve owned two Samsung tablets. They were nicely made but underpowered, underprovisioned with RAM, and slow. Android updates stopped coming after a year or so, and a year after that, apps stopped working on the hardware, because the OS was too slow. Apple updates the iPad for five or six years, so the iPad is probably a better value proposition. I prefer Android myself, but a heavy user friend who have owned both types of tablet won’t buy anything but iPad at this point.
