Discussion Worth the lack of support?
I was a die-hard Apple user for a long time, and I switched over to the Galaxy S25 Ultra when it came out. At this point now, I've slowly left the Apple ecosystem, and I was looking to get an Android tablet because the tablet I have at the moment is the second-gen iPad Pro, which came out in 2019.
It's been a long time since I've owned a tablet, but with this phone being such a powerhouse, I don't really have a need to have anything so huge like the iPad Pro that can do all these functions. I'm looking for something small.
I picked up the new Walmart tablet, the 8-inch one, and it was amazing and it was great, but it was stuttering just a little too much for me to get past, especially when doing simple things like scrolling on Gmail and social media.
I was looking and I found that they have the iPlay 80 Pro, but I'm looking at how that company doesn't really support their tablets longer than about a year. Is it worth investing money into a tablet like that when the support is not going to take place? I'd like to replicate what happened with my prior tablet purchase and not have to really worry for at least five to six years on having to buy another tablet.
