Ive had ipads forever and I need a new one mine no longer supports some stuff. They are so expensive though,my Grandson bought a Samsung tablet for his 9yr old daughter and he says its very comparable to the ipad but cheaper. Has anyone swopped? Does the tablet do everything that an ipad does?
I dont want to do it but regret it later its still a lot of money.

I buy from Backmarket. I have had ipads, iphones and Apple Watches. Always very good condition, much cheaper than new and excellent service.

I would buy iPad as it would talk to my iPhone, iWatch etc. It depends how much Apple stuff you already have

I'd really prefer new and I don't have anything else Apple my phone is a Samsung.

Well that’s your answer then Tanith if you prefer Samsung don’t even doubt yourself, if that’s what you re comfortable with stick to it
