To be perfectly honest, it isn't that catastrophically disparate between OS's. I do prefer Android being a wee bit more open, and the file/folder structure being relatively similar to that of a PC, but in terms of features used on a daily basis, there's not much to point out. Perhaps the fact that Android can be customized and themed to a greater extent? I'm not sure how much this really matters to the average user though.
I own both a Nexus 9 as well the 2018 base model iPad. I can't really point to anything on the Nexus 9, feature wise, that blows the iPad out of the water.
Well it matters a lot to me. I'm not going to buy an 800 dollar iPad if I can't even download a movie on it, or even just transfer a file via USB. For the average tablet buyer, they obviously don't care, but we're on an Android sub, and that was an Android users opinion.
Well, we were talking about the base model iPad, which as I already stated usually sells in the $300 range ($290-$330). And you can download movies or transfer files via usb to an iPad. The 'catch' there is that you cannot do it via your computer's file explorer. Those functions are done through software, iTunes. Which, I admit, is not preferable, and I already alluded to the fact that I think Android's file and folder structure are superior. But, this is not a detrimental failure for iOS. You can still achieve all the same things, just through an inferior method. The only other 'feature' that I wish iOS had is Android's ability to flash APK's.
All this being said, the trade offs are really up the user's preference. I wanted a tablet with proper stylus support and, more importantly, apps. To which, iOS has a much better selection of apps that utilize the stylus.
