I suppose that's why Apple devices are so much cheaper than the competitors.
Yep, you can find cheaper products with more ports. Go buy one and be happy. This one is the mindshare, design and profit leader, which is why we're talking about it.

If the discussion was about dominant platform then its Android, numbers don't lie. The discussion was wrt simplicity. My question was wrt to source of your stat.
The numbers don't lie, but you are focusing on the wrong one. Loss making businesses by cannot be dominant. Samsung is the only profitable Android maker and it is collapsing while Apple continues to grow.
Anyway it seems useless continuing this. I suppose you would come back some other Apple this and that line. I just wanted to know where you got the stat. Since i am not getting any references i assume you made it up.

And so it begins... the once innovative company is now playing catch up, losing a little bit of its sex appeal as it copies the bland competition.

From your description it sounds more like process changes were needed rather than hardware. If the sensitive data is all in a web app, you don't really need pre-boot authentication, and could even allow windows to automatically sign in. I'm guessing you exposed your web app to the internet with 2 factor for the iPad, you could have done the same thing for windows clients and eliminated the VPN.
"Sadly" (or not) the compliance requirements for mobile vs PC's are completely fubar. If you run under any regulation (PCI-DSS, HIPAA etc.) your PC will have to be hardened, have anti-virus, full disk encryption, 2 factor auth for remote connection and tick every other possible "security" box to be compliant. Mobile well it's easy just have an MDM and do what ever the fuck you want, so if you want to use your laptop…

I've had to deal with both HIPAA and PCI-DSS and in both cases if the sensitive data is all stored within the web app, and the authentication to the web app is good and communication to the web app is encrypted, you do not have to secure the endpoint. Both of those are about securing the sensitive data, and keeping sensitive data off the endpoint is a perfectly valid method of doing so.

If its loss making then why are companies continuously releasing new Android mobiles. They should have shut shop. Samsung isn't even dominant where i live. There are many local brands releasing one Android mobile over another. Anyway it seems useless continuing this. I suppose you would come back some other Apple this and that line.

Android is simply not dominant.

I don't know what you had to deal with regarding PCI or HIPAA but if the endpoint is in scope you have whole chapters about how you should "secure" it, same goes for remote access (VPN, Jump boxes etc.). If the endpoint was in scope I would like to see the QSA that signed an AOC/ROC which stated that the endpoints weren't secured...

What Pro apps does that allow you to run?
What do you mean by "Pro" apps? Photoshop? Illustrator? Premiere? After Effects? Autocad? 3DS Max? Eclipse? Netbeans? IntelliJ? Visual Studio? AFAIK mobile OSes don't have "Pro" apps, just niche apps, and unless those niche apps use ARM assembly or something that an x86 wouldn't run at native speed, you should have no issues.
I was curious about why it's valuable to run Android apps on a Pro tablet, or whether it's just a curiosity for running phone apps. If there was an important pro app that ran on android tablets that was made available to Windows users via emulation, that would seem to be a meaningful advantage.
It seems this is not the case.
