My compromise was to go with an iPad (second hand). I didn't own a tablet, I got access to other iOS apps and features that were mildly interesting (music creation mainly). And I didn't have to switch my actual main phone which would have been far too much of a commitment to their walled garden. The form factor is a bit clunky for scanning and I don't have the "it's in my pocket all the time" advantage you get with a phone.
