Apple made or tried to make the operating system useful enough to use productively with a stylus and keyboard. Google has not yet.

Remember the original iPad was very much NOT a keyboard/stylus device. Google is a few years behind, but fwiw their device supports Bluetooth keyboards and styluses they just don’t make a first party one.



Android has supported keyboards and mice pretty much forever, I think.


Uh, Pixel C? Google did the magnetically attached keyboard that turns it most of the way into a laptop long before Apple did. And the keyboard part worked great.
