Editorial: Bloomberg spins Apple's Event as a desperate, blind stab for cheap iPads in edu...
Except Google’s product and services aren’t inferior to Apple’s. This argument was fine at a time when other companies products really were inferior to Apple’s. My nephew owns a Pixel 2 and absolutely loves it. The photos he takes with it are as good as what I get with my iPhone X. Another thing, if privacy is such a big deal for Apple why would they want Google to own the classroom just so they don’t have to give up hardware margin? I think Apple would do whatever necessary to ensure its software and services are the preferred choice in schools. Isn’t it more likely for kids to own Apple products if they’re using them in school?SpamSandwich said:
The educational market is, and has always been, extremely price sensitive. Price sensitive markets aren't necessarily markets in which Apple should be attempting to compete. Apple makes aspirational devices and services. People who are used to using inferior alternatives should be desperate to buy and replace the old products with Apple products.Latko said:The school market is a lost chance for Apple - as long as it doesn’t deliver on the need for deployment tools (device management, app/version management, content mgt., rights/access mgt.) and keeps denying the need for multiple iOS accounts. Cook & co don’t even understand the concept of double instance multi-tasking (2 Word/Excel docs at the same time), making their post-PC claims near ridiculous. So an iPad with a pencil (if it comes at a Chromebook ‘s pricepoint to start with...) basically remains an overpriced sketchbook - that will never see structural implementation by the lack of a supporting infrastructure (what did Apple’s coopration with IBM bring in ?) A cheap repackaging effort that only underlines the lack of a broader understanding of the sectors’ device/content mgt. needs. Better stay out of this market - edu won’t match Cook’s premium financial prerequisites anyway and it would make Apple’s “thinking in the best interest of the customer” just a fluffy claim - as they only want to sell boxes

Listen to Rene Ritchie’s recent Vector podcast with Bradley Chambers. Apple has work to do in the education sector. DED can spin all he wants but Chromebooks and Google’s G Suite are winning in the classroom. Probably one reason why Apple is having an education focused event. I actually don’t expect hardware to be announced at this event. My guess is it will be software focused.

New 9.7" iPad expected to support Apple Pencil, be 70 percent of 2018 sales
This guy just throws shit at the wall to see what sticks and then claims said shit will be a majority of sales.

Failure of Pixel 2 exposed a larger problem: Google's ads don't work
How is having a discussion on Apple and it’s products/services equating to failures? Why would I come to a site called Appleinsider to hear about Google. I don’t give a shit about Google. I don’t own any Google hardware and don’t use any Google services outside of the search engine.lkrupp said:rogifan_new said:What is the purpose of writing a Google bashing article other than it makes some people feel good to knock one of Apple’s competitors? Is there some worry about the iPhone X that AI feels it necessary to trash the Pixel?
Since no other website ever publishes criticisms of Apple’s competitors and all we ever see are articles predicting Apple’s eventual demise I don’t see the problem here. Mr. Dilger writes well and I have seen his AI work pop up on news media sites from time to time. It’s about time the competition got bashed instead of being declared Apple killers all the time. If all these Apple killers’ products are so good then why does Apple continue to thrive and grow?
If you want to read about and discuss Apple’s failures all day long then head on over to 9TO5Mac or MacRumors.
What you’re saying basically is you approve of this article because bashing Apple’s competitors makes you feel good. Having insightful discussions about Apple’s products and services don’t provide the high that bashing and trolling the competition does. -

Why? How are they threatening Apple in any way. If this phone is as bad as DED says why even waste any time on it?sdw2001 said:rogifan_new said:What is the purpose of writing a Google bashing article other than it makes some people feel good to knock one of Apple’s competitors?

Considering this is an Apple centric site I’d love to see an editorial about, say, Siri and what Apple can and should do to make it better or maybe a discussion on the rumored software changes and how Apple can improve their software processes and quality going forward. Or maybe a piece about what would be good to see software wise in the future for the HomePod. A Siri intent for music and podcasts? The ability to recognize different voices and offer multi user support? These are just a few examples. There are plenty of editorials and pieces about Apple that could generate good discussion. I wish more rumor sites would run pieces that could generate this kind of discussion. 9to5Mac does on occasion but they seem to be the only one.
I personally love the new style I've seen as of late. It's factual and aggressive, and relatively brief. It's about time Google is called out on their shit.
