I've owned several android tablets (acer, lenovo and samsung) all have failed much more quickly than I'd like. Meanwhile my iPhones have lasted years without problem, in fact my mother in law currently uses my old iPhone 8 after a battery replacement.

We are about to implement a warehouse picking system at work this will need maybe 6 tablets, obviously iPads are expensive but are they going to provide the same reliability and longevity as an iPhone, or should I just accept that tablets just die more frequently than phones?

** tablet failures have included being borked and unrecoverable after Android updates on 2 x Lenovo tablets, random rebooting on Samsung Galaxy S6 (even after many resets/updates), and dead batteries
