The news agency says the new iPad will have special software focused on the schools and that Apple will not launch a new MacBook on Tuesday.
Apple will launch on Tuesday, during an event in Chicago, an affordable iPad, focused on students and teachers.
According to a Bloomberg report , citing sources that requested anonymity, the new iPad will be equipped with software-level functions to be used in classrooms. Apple will unveil this tablet during an event on Tuesday, March 27 to be held at a public high school in Chicago.
The Bloomberg report says Apple also works on a new low-cost MacBook, but it will not be announced at Tuesday's event. However, says the news agency, the product itself is under development and will cost less than US $ 1,000.
Apple did not comment on Bloomberg.
The manufacturer of the iPhone launched a low-cost iPad in 2017, a tablet of large bezels and internal components not as novel as the case of the iPad Pro 10.5 inches , which had thin bevels and the best hardware of the company. But with a base price of $ 349, the 9.7-inch iPad sounded like an excellent update for users with outdated tablets.
Tuesday's event is unusual for a company like Apple and is expected to focus on its education efforts (a topic that Apple does not publicly address since an event in 2012). It is also unusual because it will be held in Chicago, more than 3,000 kilometers away from Silicon Valley and Apple Park.
But the Californian company, which on some occasion was head of the educational market , needs this event to reinforce its offer of products and services for schools. "When Apple launched an iPad for education, for the first two years, it had a good attraction," said Michael Horn, an education expert at CNET. "But now Google has catapulted into the market."
In 2017, three out of five computers in schools use ChromeOS , Google's operating system for Chromebooks. These laptops from manufacturers such as Asus, HP, Acer and Lenovo have earned a desk for being as cheap as US $ 179 and for already including a physical keyboard - unlike the iPad that has prices above US $ 349 and that model does not include a Apple keyboard (but you can adapt a third-party).
