Recently some people have moved to Xiaomi Pad 7 after many years of using the iPad. Although the iPad is famous as a great tablet, Android tablet will give you more things than the iPad.
1. Using iPad will miss the openness that Android brings
Although Apple has introduced more custom features over the years – and even allows Sideload to third -party application stores in some areas – but still unmatched with the flexibility of the source code. Open of Android. The ability to install applications from third -party sources, change the default launcher, convert the icon package or use any file management process is some features that iPados is still missing.
There are also smaller privileges, such as uploading and downloading the background in the application and transmitting files more easily via USB-C makes a big difference.
Although Apple's limited approach may be excellent for some people, the open source of Android source is what you will really miss when using the iPad.
2. Multitasking on Android tablet better
Yes, iPados allows you to run two parallel applications, but still cannot be compared with the multitasking experience of Android tablets. On the Xiaomi Pad 7, you can not only run two applications at the same time, but you can also hold open applications in a floating window that can change the size and move freely.
Unlike the iPados, forcing you to divide the screen for multitasking, Android floating window mode allows you to hold an open application in the background mode without taking up unnecessary capacity. This is a much more flexible and effective way for multitasking.
3. There are many user profile is a turning point
One of the things that makes users most disappointed about iPad is that it doesn't have many user profile. Unlike smartphones, personal devices, tablets are often used by many people in a household. On the iPad, there is no way to hold separate profile for each user.
On the other hand, Xiaomi Pad 7 allows creating specific user accounts for each family member. This helps the applications, data and preferences are completely separate. This feature is also great for children because you can set children -friendly profile with parents' control to limit access to certain applications and content. Ipad users have requested this feature on Reddit for many years, but Apple has not yet added.
4. Android tablet does not tie you into an ecosystem
One of the biggest benefits when owning an Android tablet is that you are not tied to a specific ecosystem. Certainly, brands like Samsung provide exclusive features when using their tablets with Galaxy smartphones – like using tablets as a second screen – but that does not mean you limited to using only a brand's product.
Android makes things more flexible. Any peripheral device you own can connect to Android tablet easily, although sometimes it may need an additional one or two steps.
In addition, you are not limited to Google's ecosystem. You can back up your photos to any cloud service you choose instead of based on Google Drive. You can even change Google Assistant to chatgpt or Perplexity if desired.
In contrast, Apple thrives when keeping you in its ecosystem. The iPad will only connect with your Mac in the form of an external screen and AirPods will automatically synchronize on all your Apple devices.
Although these features are really useful, over time, they will drag you deeper into Apple's ecosystem.
5. Android tablet costs more maintenance costs
Apple's iPad is a high -end device and maintenance is not cheap. Whether it is a case, accessories or repair, the cost of ownership increases rapidly. For example, when breaking the iPad Air screen, the repair cost is nearly equal to the price to buy a new cheap Android tablet.
Yes, repair costs may be expensive for any device, but Android tablets often have lower repair costs, especially if you use a third -party repair service. In the long run, Android tablets are simply easier to maintain.
These are just a few reasons why people switch from iPad to Android tablet. While Apple products bring a great experience, especially if you have participated deeply into the Apple ecosystem, the Android tablet is flexible and more cost -effective – this is a big plus point. If you don't use your tablet too often.
