Is there an apple tablet that costs less than 100$ so we can compare the two ?

No, because Apple has standards. Which is what Microsoft is trying to establish.

If anything it bugs me to see that the requirements are so low:
> 720p
Ok not too bad
> more than 15fps
I thought this was 2022, anything less than 24 is basically garbage and itβs pointless to even have 720p at that frame rate.

I haven't looked in a minute but 0.3MP (640x480) cameras were quite common just a few years ago on budget laptops. Often webcams can achieve higher FPS at lower resolutions, so specifying 720p @ 15FPS prevents them from shipping a 720p sensor that does say 15FPS but only at 320x240.
Could it be that M$ (haven't used that in a while) is tired of manufacturers shipping garbage with Microsoft's latest OS installed?
I remember purchasing a brand new HP Tablet for under $100 that shipped with Microsoft's latest OS (8.1 I believe). I knew it was going to be bad, I was curious just how bad though. I wasn't prepared for HP to look at my incredibly low expectations and say "hold my beer".
When you purchase an Apple product, any Apple product, you know it's going to be at worst a middling experience.
It seems like Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11 are just holding manufacturers to higher expectations.
