true, but in my experience iPad OS isn’t that much better either. Apps that just show a 16:9 iPhone screen and don’t scale whatsoever are still plenty.
I guess it different for each use case. The apps I normally use they are all full optimized for my 12.9 inch iPad. Of all those same only one, Feedly, had a tablet version in my time with the Galaxy tab S8+ and even so the 16:9 aspect ratio didn’t work very well with lot of space wasted both on portrait and landscape. I love my Galaxy S22 and will gladly get an Android tablet when most if not all of the apps I normally use get a proper tablet view.
Hmmm. I’ve been working with a Galaxy Tab S8+ and have had surprisingly few problems. The worst are when apps insist on portrait mode. Samsung, at least, has a config to correct this, and it’s worked on every app I’ve tried. I’m not sure if this is Samsung specific, or other tablets can do it. I know my earlier ones could not.
I also had the S8+ for a couple of week prior to returning it an while, certainly, most of the apps worked they was for the most part enlarged versions of they phone counterpart. Maybe in smaller screens this work but on a 12 inch screen it was a big no for me. Those same apps work flawlessly on the 12 inch iPad. I’m not big fan of Apple but, for now, I’ll what works for my when it comes to tablets.
Problem with Android tablets is still the lack apps working properly on large screens. Learned that the hard way.

Fair enough – Apps are occasionally just sized up for tablets. There are a lot more iPads than Android tablets, though this may be changing.
