I hear that often. But I don't seem to hear justifications for that claim.

The iOS App Store lets you partake in multiple different e-book libraries at once—instead of being locked into Amazon's or Kobo's systems, you can download both apps in addition to Apple's iBooks and library apps like Overdrive, Libby, and Hoopla. As a standard tablet, the iPad mini can also play audiobooks, and its headphone jack will be a saving grace for many users who haven't quite made the transition to the wireless life yet.
Inside the iPad mini are Apple's A12 chipset as well as either 64GB or 256GB of storage.

Android tablets do all of that as well and tend to include expandable storage.
I suppose only iOS lets you buy Apple books, but that only matters if Apple's book experience is absolutely the best available, which it is not.
Also, from memory, you can't buy books directly from Amazon's apps and have to use a clunky workaround of signing in to Amazon via Safari, buy the books and then read them in the app. How is that good?
Lastly, when it comes to reading comics, I've used tablets that have the iPad's 4:3 screen ratio and tablets that use Android's 16:9 screen ratio and comics fit better on the 16:9 screen (though the Surface Pro's 3:2 ratio seems to work best of all).
