Looks like a great course.

I’m sorry to say my experience has been “Android = pain” as far as the oldies are concerned. Had years supporting MiL and her endless devices. Then two years ago we got her an iPad instead. Support requirement has dropped to pretty much nil.



it's like saying "we didn't like the radio on your Hyundai's so we got all bmws"

most of the world cannot even afford S or A models from Samsung.


Not really. It's not like iPads are 10x the price of a cheap Android device. They're like 2x. Factor in time and the maths makes even more sense.

I’m seeing about 3-4:1 comparing reconditioned iPads to cheap-but-not-reconditioned new Android tablets, 10:1 is closer than 2:1 for new-to-new.


outside of usa and Europe, apple tax is close to 6-10:1 instead of 3-4:1
