lol Apple PR is pissed and also this doesn't even address the fact that the criticism of its products being far too expensive for the classroom is 1000% correct https://twitter.com/pschiller/status/1194718614869250048
Apple currently has a cash reserve large enough to buy every single child in a public school in America an iPad with a smart keyboard case. Twice.
it currently offers a 10% education discount
lol ok

also Schiller's whole premise that Apple wants to provide a "complete" education solution is the biggest pile of crap I've ever read. It's a complete fantasy. US K-12 education and college admission revolve around testing. What universe is he in where testing doesn't matter?
Probably the same one where parents buy their kids a $2400 laptop to Do School Work, you know, the one Apple is sure to tell you how good it is at playing Fortnite.
Apple markets to rich kids. Just own it, guys.

If you went to a US university in the in the late 2000s, you know how much of a status symbol the MacBook Pro was. If you had one, you had money (or were an idiot like me who bought it on student credit). Apple pretending it doesn't market explicitly to the affluent is laughable.
