My dad recently gifted me an iPad Pro and it has easily become the device that I use the most. I mark up a ton of PDFs, take notes on it, and do digital art. I use an Android phone and a Windows PC but haven’t ran into any major problems so far except for file sharing being an inconvenience. My dad also asked if I’d like to switch ecosystems and I initially declined. Was told that it would make switching between tasks on my devices significantly easier. Would it be worth it to switch to an iPhone when I’m due for my next upgrade? I don’t want to give up a dedicated file manager and sideloading but was wondering if the trade off in increased productivity would make up for it. Would there even be a major difference?
Not really. You can gain the same benefits from using Google services on all your devices.
