We moved our Home Health field staff of around 45 RNs, CNAs, and contract Therapists to iPads back in 2018 (at the time our EHR didn't support Android devices but they do now.)

Our 2018 iPads are still getting updates and whatever Samsung tablet we might've gotten then probably would not be getting updates at this point. Consistency of updates is enough to keep me buying iOS devices for the foreseeable future. I know in the last few years Google and Samsung both have committed to 3 or 5 years of updates, but I won't hold my breath.

Biggest cost besides the iPad itself, and the keyboard (which is an additional $100 or so), or the MDM software (we pay about $4 per device per month) is repairs. About 5-6 of our devices end up getting dropped and cracked screens per year, and we end up sending them in to Apple for $270 a pop. We tried having a local shop do a repair once, and it went so horribly wrong that we started just using Apple's repair and never looked back.

But training is way easier, administering and trouble
