#hate apple

I just wanna say, as someone who has used Wacom tablets, Huion tablets, and apple tablets for drawing...

Go with Wacom.

While I have enjoyed the ease of function of the apple products, they, like literally everything else made by that company, are made to last for a set, finite amount of time. Because I've put off setting up and getting used to using my desktop tablet again, I'm now stuck using the apple pen and tablet that I got a few years ago.

Apple doesn't want me to keep using the tablet from a few years ago. It has reached the point where I physically cannot work on my art when I want because the pen will constantly stop working after a few seconds. I'll have to argue and wrestle with it for half an hour to get it to shut up and do its job for an hour or so. But if I take a break to refill my water or stop drawing for any span it resets and we have to fight all over again. This isn't an issue with the pen, the pen has been replaced. It isn't an issue with bluetooth, it remains connected. It just stops working completely. It's an issue with the tablet itself, I suspect because it's more than two years old.

By contrast, every Wacom tablet I've ever owned or used has worked flawlwssly up till the day I decided to opt to use something else. And when I went back to my many years old, well used, dust covered wacom, update the drivers and plug it in, it works as beautifully as the day it came out of the package.
