Best praise vs top criticism for Apple iPad (8th generation)
“Software updates mainly. I have an iPad 8 from 2020 that just got the latest ios26 update. My Galaxy Tab stopped getting updates like 2 years in and that seems to be consistent with what I’ve read from other people. My battery also expanded in like year 3ish.”
“iPad 8 is definitely faster but has only 3GB RAM... and you need to buy the pencil too, has worse speakers too”
