The problem is no one except Samsung makes any decent tablets, and even Samsung is hardly decent - crap cameras, no NFC... and the Apple ecosystem is a walled garden.

Pick your poison I guess. I’d rather have security than freedom when it comes to a cell phone. I’d also rather Apple decide what the wall looks like than Verizon.

Microsoft, Asus and Huawei also do nice tablets.

Microsoft tablets are far from “nice”. They run Windows with all of the bloat that entails.

This isn’t meant to be an anti-MS screed. I would say the same if Apple released a “Mac tablet”. Windows is perfectly fine as a PC operating system and I use it everyday and have been developing on and for Windows my entire career. But, as a tablet operating system - No.

It’s only been within the last couple of years that I’ve been deploying to Linux and it’s still .Net Core.
