Android OS is not weak, it's just not user-friendly. Apple is for the rich but it does not means that it's good, they just have better marketing and always a norm for design/unique/status. I don't see Bill gates using iPhone, Apple is not for the rich, it's for aesthetics and "show-offs".
I do have an iPhone 6S Plus before, So I do agree that the IOS is a pretty good experience but you have to see that the design and innovation from Apple is not that good anymore, look at iPhone 8 Plus compared to 7 Plus/6S/6, it doesn't have anything changed except for some camera tweaks and an every year chip changed. But I do get where you are coming from, androids are used by everyone but Apple are used by people that are more well-off. We are not attacking you, but back to topic.. iPad Mini is a very good tablet, I have one and I pretty much like the design and small-form factor and I would recommend anyone that doesn't have one get one maybe? iPad mini 2 have retina and relatively cheap.
