Shares
ISLAMABAD - Apple Inc has launched a new iPad that would work with its Apple Pencil accessory aimed at helping it grab more of the US education market.
The tablet will have a starting price of $299 for students and $329 for consumers. Tech companies are battling for dominance in US schools with inexpensive devices and laptops that are geared towards classroom use and seen as a way to hook young consumers, Bloomberg has reported.
Education-geared laptops running operating systems by Alphabet Inc’s Google or Microsoft Corp can be had for less than $200.
Apple hit hard on the education theme on Tuesday, with school bells and announcements over a public address system directing press and teachers into an auditorium at Lane Tech College Prep High School. Apple board member and former US Vice President Al Gore mingled with the crowd.
