Interesting posts... I have had a Garmin, a Magellan, a TomTom and also use an iPhone and iPad. I ditched the single purpose GPS systems (Garmin, TomTom and Magellan) since they had a tendency to "stick" and have to be restarted (especially the Magellan, it was rather bad.) They also require either a memory stick or a PC connection to update maps. Although Garmin may use WAAS the only place I would notice any difference is when I didn't follow directions - the Garmin is quicker to tell you that you are not "on track" than the iOS devices. That may also be due to the fact that any phone is also doing other processing in the background. I find the iPhone GPS "good enough" in its accuracy.
In any case, it is always best to get something that you are comfortable with and don't depend entirely on any one device. I plan my routes out ahead of time so I don't depend entirely on my GPS. If I have to reroute for some reason, that is just an excuse to stop and stretch and grab another drink. I will also check the road just to make sure the GPS (CoPilot RV, in my case) isn't trying to send me down a dirt road somewhere over the horizon. I also have the TomTom and Garmin HUD apps just in case I want to use them for spot checks or for dashboard data.
And I love my iPad Pro's 12.9" screen... you can see VERY well!
So... to each their own!
