Explanation

Applications are tied to their platform's ecosystem: iOS apps run only on iOS, Android apps run only on Android, and the two are not interchangeable. If the new tablet runs a different OS than the old one, none of the existing apps can be transferred - they must be repurchased or are simply unavailable. Screen size and wireless speed are comfort/performance factors that do not affect app compatibility. Storage capacity matters for how many apps can be installed but is irrelevant if the apps cannot run on the OS at all. The operating system is the critical compatibility factor.
