What I don't think it is an apples to apples comparison.
Huh? The 90 days standby time was for the Bigme device. As the standby time you found, it's for an iPad Pro not an iPad Air and an iPad Pro with builtin cellular at that (the talk time of 10 hours on 3G is a bit of a giveaway). My current iPad Pro WiFi only lasts well over 2 weeks on standby. That comes from when I left it at work while on vacation and it had dropped to ~50% battery after 16 days. I have very few non-essential apps installed and none that I can control are allowed to run in the background, check location, etc.

Apples to apples? Would it have made you feel better if I had used a Samsung tablet as the basis for the comparison to compare Android to Android. As I said, I compared a device from a manufacturer often derided for high prices. Given the price comparison, it's hard for me to see how purchasing the Bigme could be justified. I realize a good chunk of the cost may be due to the colour eInk panel but otherwise, it's specs are pretty much any low end commodity Android tablet (2GB RAM, 32GB storage, etc.).
