Try installing SW not approved by Apple, or using it without iTunes or Apple Cloud.
Only Serious Apple fans think Apple gear is good value and flexible in the way alternates are.
I've used various Apple products, Windows & Linux and till recently did IT support.
I certainly couldn't do 99% of my computing needs on ANY Tablet (iOS, Android, Win10 or Linux).
My comment was purely in the context of someone wanting knitting patterns. Crochet & Cross-stitch are also usually PDF.
Actually in many cases colour is required, so really a 10" or larger tablet with decent resolution is needed. Some seemingly cheap ones are not even HD. So check resolution. Ideally it should be either 64G Flash, or 16G Flash (32G better) and an SD card slot. If there isn't enough internal Flash there is a problem then with OS upgrades.
An iOS (iPAd) is better than Win10 x86 tablet and a Windows ARM tablet is pointless. Putting Linux on a tablet is a bit specialised. So basically the choice is Android or iPad. It's certainly trickier to choose a decent value Android tablet. While the iPad really needs iTunes and Internet, at least with new one you know what it is, even though it's more expensive and less flexible than Android, Linux or Win10 models with an SD card slot, They all can use 3rd party apps and simply appear as mass storage on a PC/Laptop without any special software installed. Though I'd take an iPad rather than win10 any day.
