If my iphone is paid and out of warranty I can do whatever I want with it. Give it away, trash it away, donate it for good cause, get it repaired w whatever parts I used, it’s none of Apples business. 

Off course. Once Apple sells product and out of warranty, Apple still cares as good citizen to support in newer IOS releases(unlike Android) but should not mandate what you do with that peace of hardware.. That is why I have been asking Apple to provide ONE place complete reset,wipe of device.

Not sure why you think that’s not there....

Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Contents And Settings/, touch it to initiate, confirm that’s really what you want to do, done.

When have we heard this before; “(x) has won, and Apple should just admit defeat.” Again and again we hear this in this comment stream, or words to that effect.

Yes, Apple screwed up it’s education market big time. Hopefully, the dead wood responsible for that has been pushed to the side of the road (I heard about some of that dead wood back when my wife worked for Apple in education). But to say Apple has lost this fight is clearly either self-deception or purposeful obfuscation. We are not talking about some inconsequential little company here.

Money? Please! I’d say it’s a fair bet parents are far more interested in the quality of their kid’s education than in some IT department’s desire to stay employed. Do people actually think the IT depatments have more power than the parents?

Or the similar gripe that Apple could “afford” to deeply discount it’s products to schools, no matter how high quality they are compared to Chromebooks. Last I looked, Google had net income percentage on a par with or a bit better than Apple’s, in spite of the probability that Chromebooks are steeply discounted. And do you think Google is discounting those Chromebooks out of the goodness of their hearts?

So the best you could say is that Apple isn’t fighting fire with fire. But like someone else posted, Apple isn’t interested in a computer race to the bottom. They are interested in giving fair value for a fair price.

I love this! It might even bring script back....

THIS is a terrific new way to create a book. Should be a boon for all authors.

I was just thinking how great this would be for authors and illustrators collaborating on children's books.

Then I remembered that Pages can't handle facing pages, so maybe not so much.

Um, it's called "Digital Books". Why would you need or even want "facing" digital pages?

I'm glad that Apple doesn't use Face ID on the regular iPad. It's disaster for kids sharing it in schools. iPad pro is more a personal device and I agree it should have Face ID. I'm glad that they make the 9.7" iPad compatible with the Pencil. I wish they make Pencil cheaper like $49.

Yeah FaceID would never work in a K-12 environment. For one, FaceID only supports one face so right there it doesn't work. TouchID for the matter isn't even that great for K-12. I have it disabled on all of our devices as its not necessary for use. 

Yeah, I would have at least liked to see Apple Pencil like $69 or $79 for educational use, not the same $99. So basically you have a $299 iPad and a $99 pencil, so thats $398, and if you want the rugged K-12 case/keyboard that is available for K-12 schools, thats another $99 and 3yr AppleCare+ is another $99 per iPad. The price can go up in a hurry depending on what you want to accomplish. I suppose not everyone needs to have an Apple Pencil with their iPad. I can see those getting lost/stolen pretty easily. 

Logitech Crayon $49?
