Apple has been, and continues to be, very involved in education. When I last worked with them in education they were testing/bootstrapping a “one laptop per child” program using iBooks. After educational pricing an Apple machine may be cheaper than Chromebook or iPad. GSuite also has a replacement on mac. Really Google is getting to the game about 30+ years too late.

Chromebooks are dominant in education now and it is Apple and Microsoft who are playing catch up. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/20/apple-google-microsoft-are-battling-for-dominance-in-education.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/20/apple-google-microsoft-are-b...
- tekknik 6y agoA couple of things here: I worked in the industry, this is first hand experience. But it was 20 some years ago. High schools mostly chose windows for various science software, otherwise it was macs. This is very regional. So Google may dominate in one region while Apple dominates in another. Google could be giving these Chromebooks away to have this metric to throw around. Does this mean they’re used? Maybe, maybe not.
