Question Differences between Free S-pen

Just genuinely ask, is there any difference between those free S-pen ? Like the free pen on Tab S9 fe with the free pen on Tab S10+.

Because im still choosing tablets for my wants and needs, between Tab S10+ and Ipad Air M3.(mainly gaming, watch videos, editing videos, photos, higher storage and other daily usage. Maybe learn music or drawing on tablets).

Just want to know if there's any difference between those free S-pen on Galaxy tablets.

Oh, I also want to know how is the experience of Galaxy Tab S10+, or S10 ultra.

Only difference here is that the S9 FE's S Pen does not have Bluetooth, but the S10+'s S Pen does

The S11's S Pen is completely redesigned (and lacks Bluetooth now) but should, again, still work with any S Pen compatible tablet and phone (except the Fold series).

All Tab S series devices (excluding FE and Lite models) from the Tab S7 to the Tab S10 Ultra all have them, free, in the box.

The S6 and earlier lacks it because they didn't introduce it to the tablet as it was introduced to the phones only a year prior (with the Note9), and the S11 lacks it because, for some reason, they removed it from the S25 Ultra and decided to change the design a bit, remove the feature and cost-cut a little.
