I'm thinking one of them even has a TV commercial to download the app.

I know absolutely zero about any "i" product. I know there seems to be fierce competition between iOS and Android OS. I have no idea which is actually the best way to go. Currently my wife has a Samsung tablet (which, as you likely know, runs Android) that her sister gave her - so it's only recently that I've become slightly familiar with the Android OS.
