"Apple they're trying," said Mike Fisher, education technology analyst at Futuresource Consulting. The Cupertino company said the education sector has long-term value for it. According to the vice president of product marketing, Macs and iPads are the best tools in education because they help teachers learn and teach students.

Last year, for example, he introduced an application called Classroom, through which the teacher has an overview of what the student is currently doing on the iPad. And he also released a free iPad app called Swift Playgrounds, which introduces students to programming in the language Swift.
Company Apple due to growing popularity Chromebooks is losing significant profits. Its revenue from devices supplied to schools fell from $3,2 billion (2015) to $2,8 billion (2016).

the reason is clear... the competition is cheaper. for what he needs, rich notes are enough lame, and second-hand friends spend a lot on gilding and "innovation" of the given product, and Apple I haven't arrived with a new computer (really interesting) for about 4 years, and my friends are not able to accept it.. :) and I don't think any customers. Apple will have to really come up with something interesting this year (price, performance, innovation) so that people say JOOO again Apple :)..
and what were they waiting for? Every new product they introduce is more and more expensive. I still maintain that their own pricing policy will kill them in the end. how about the fact that their devices work almost flawlessly when only a select few will be able to afford to buy them in the end.
Would it be time for a Surface from MS? ????
Rather, I would say that in general the iPad and any Android tablet are going down the drain. I don't mean equipment but enforceability. In essence, you have a tablet or a larger mobile phone with which you clumsily make phone calls... so in my opinion it's pointless. I had an iPad for 3 months and it went away brand new used a few times.
Well, I don't think it's just in schools, and especially only in America. Well, for example,onewill get itanceven instead of Tim :)
