Comparatively, the Tab S9 Ultra is positioned as a strong competitor to the iPad Pro, particularly attractive to users not entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. The discussion highlights that while the tablet offers impressive specifications and performance (dual selfie cameras, auto framing, fingerprint reader), consumer preference often leans towards Apple devices due to the strong ecosystem effect of features like iMessage and FaceTime.
Finally, consumer preferences for larger screens are discussed, noting Apple's shift away from the mini iPhone due to low sales. The video concludes with recognition of the appeal of larger-screen devices, despite the Tab S9 Ultra's slightly higher price point and different feature set compared to the iPad Pro.
