Pretty much what Raj said. Apple has keyboard-folio and keyboard cases for their iPads. And there are other 3rd party manufacturer options, like this little gem of a cross-platform keyboard here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNB6R7G
iPads are nice machines - few tablets out there can rival Apple's displays without hitting the same price point as an iPad. The display alone was enough to pique my Dad's interest, but he still shies away because you can't expand the storage.
I can see Apple's point about the storage, though. Apple's solid state storage is primo shit, and I've had a lot of problems in the past with Android phones not recognizing the SD cards I put into them or having SD cards get fried from overheating. And it's fewer complications, too. I could never get any of my Android phones to fully transfer even half of my apps to the SD card storage I'd add in. Final nail in the coffin? If you ever have an iPad with storage that goes bad, your local Apple Store will be all kinds of "OH NOOOO!" and fix you up as quickly as possible - and for free at that. (Defective products only - accidental damage doesn't count.)
Also, if you are REALLY concerned about privacy, Apple is the platform to go with. The only way to achieve Apple's level of privacy protection on an Android phone is to jailbreak it and install a specially modded version of Android OS.
There is a caveat to privacy protection on Apple devices, but it's a no-brainer when you think about it. That being that you have to be careful about what apps you install. Despite Apple's own feelings about privacy, that doesn't automatically extend to third-party apps. A good example is most "free" weather apps. There've been class-action lawsuits against AccuWeather because of how they harvest and handle users data - such as tracking their activities (with GPS logging data, too!) with a fine tooth comb and then selling that info to the advertisers on their app.
Make sure you only use apps that have a guarantee to not use your personal data as a revenue source. Granted, this means that a lot of the "free" options are right out, but that's no big loss anyways since some of them can throw more pop-ups at you than a sketchy porn site.
That said, check with your cellular provider to see what your options are.
