sdavisnz: merrit of ios
great battery life on newer devices compared to android
frequent os upgrades, and you dont miss out on them becuase company x cant be stuffed deploying an update.
secure, no sideloading apps that could be malicous
full app catalouge
I have an ipad air that i use on occasion and my battery last ~ 1 month
accessories galore, youll always find a case and a screen guard and all the other common acc. only flagship droids can say the same, but most places have a massive ios range and a tiny droid range.
stable os, because "you cant touch this" approcach to security, for 99% of people they are okay with that.
disadvantages of ios devices
no full size usb, it doesnt bother me cos I use the cloud but old people still like the full size usb port for some reason,
no file explorer, you will never see the root of your devices
copying data from ios to pc and vice versa is app depenednt, so if you have a pdf app thats where you pdfs would live, all via itunes.
they cost more, but if you budget concious there is always apple online store refurbshed units that they knock ~200 off.

I use ios/android/windows on a daily basis so im not too byast.

Dreal: Well I found that I can stream from a Windows network on Android, and connect to a Windows network via Android with ease. And I can print to a Windows network, from a Windows tablet, obviously (Windows 8.1) (I am sure you probably can with an app on Android or iOS). Windows 10's app platform is a universal one, device independent.
For mobile platform, I am not sure Android is exclusively. You can get Android desktops and laptops, and Android PC on a stick, android TV etc. Not that this is where it shines. Perhaps the same is true of iOS? IDK.
I heard that iOS can't stream from a Windows network, so I am guessing iOS doesn't play as nicely with the other kids in the playground (you also mentioned you need an app to do file transfers). That might be another disadvantage, compatibility.
Maybe thats because googles office is opposite microsofts?
I am not familiar with iOS though, so I really don't know.

You can browse smb shares fine on iOS, with the appropriate app, both for streaming and / or file transfer. For USB transfer iTunes is still the main show in town.
