5 important statements at Apple's education event

This year, Apple does not hold an annual spring event in California, but switched to a high school in Chicago, promising its new products that will target the education market that is dominated by Google and Microsoft.

Important points are briefly presented in just 1 hour, most revolving around the new iPad. If you missed this event, these are notable points.

iPad 'education'

The highlight of this event is the new 'popular' iPad that supports a stylus. Called 'popular' because it has a price of $ 299 for schools, but for others it is $ 329 - the price of a 9.7-inch tablet earlier this year.

The most remarkable thing about this iPad is the ability to work with $ 99 Apple Pencil ($ 89 for students, students, teachers), which was previously only supported on iPad Pro.

This new educational iPad has ToucH ID, HD FaceTime camera, 8 megapizel rear camera, and A10 Fusion chip. Estimated battery life is 10 hours and there will be an LTE version.

Logitech Crayon stylus new

Although the new iPad supports Apple Pencil, it is still sold separately and does not discount. Instead, Apple introduced a cheaper third-party pen, called Logitech Crayon. For $ 49, Crayon has a more pleasing orange strip than Apple's pen.
