Interesting, in my case the impossibility to copy files from my computer to an ipad with a cable was a real deal-braker. I ended up giving my IPad to a friend. Also the inability to just push our own application with a tool like ADB. Incredibly frustrating. The main selling point for me is the quality of the camera. The tablet itself also doesn't break after 1 year (although it is also the case for Android tablets priced +$300). My wife had here iphone becoming very slow after an upgrade, plus the battery life is terrible. If the camera is a deal-braker you could try a GoPro, it is a really good camera.

Pixels have good cameras. Why not Pixel tablet + GrapheneOS

Does it have the same features like copy paste?

Could you rephrase the question? Not sure I understand, copy paste from where to where?

Yeah I can select some text from my iPhone and select copy. Then go to my iPad and select paste. This makes working on mobile to tablet very convenient

On Android with KDE connect we can do the same.

If you wonder how come it works on so many devices, this is because KDE is written using QT, which uses C++ and hence is compatible on devices which have a c++ compiler for it's CPU.

It works on Linux, Windows, IOS, Android and probably other minor devices using Plasma Mobile. Use everyday Android <-> Linux, but you can use it as IOS <-> Windows. You can send an receive clipboard, files, etc. During movie times I use KDE connect as a remote control to do play/pause! It also works as a channel Android <-> IOS, just tested it.

Yes indeed, the camera is pretty decent. But the camera I had the opportunity to try on an iphone was far better (I think it was IPhone X-something or 12). If the camera is a deal-braker I would recommend a GoPro. I have one, it is relatively cheap and is far better than IPhones, and we can copy files freely to a computer, and we can use nd filters on it to take good pictures as well.

Wait, I thought you were talking about tablets. For phone cameras, I would say current gen pixels are better than current gen iphones. e.g. pixel8 vs iphone15

I was thinking about IOS devices in general actually, since I had an IPad and have used IPhones for testing tasks with Safari at work. Thank you for your feedback for Pixel8, it is good to know! I only have Pixel 4 and 6 and the camera is not great compared to the IPhone I tried (and IPad).
