So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and sideload the apk's of paid apps to enjoy them for free, can I still do all this on an ipad or should I just drop the idea and get an android tablet instead ?

Back in the days, I used to have an iPad full of games and software, I'm talking about a 1st gen iPad and it was about one year or two after it was first released.

Then with the new iPads, OS updates and so the app repositories died out and apple dropped official support and now it is a mechanically fully funcional device that is completely unusable because of the software it contains.
