The Apple Education Conference 2018 ended a while ago, which went against the expectations that many have talked about, as Apple only introduced a new iPad at a price similar to its predecessor, as well as provided a large number of applications and services to teachers, which made the conference worthy of being an educational conference only and not targeting the average follower exactly as Apple hinted not to broadcast the conference or publish invitations on its official website.
The conference started with a video of children playing in real life. The video ended with the saying, "You can do anything you want and anything to change the world."
Then Tim Cook took to the stage and spoke about Apple's belief in future generations and that they will be the future of America. Then he began to review Apple's contributions, saying that Macs and iPads are everywhere here and in all classes, from music to robot control techniques, adding that Apple has helped teach more than 370 children to code in Chicago only. He praised the teachers and said that Apple seeks to provide all possible means for them to provide the best education for children.
After that, the conference really began, where Tim talked about the application and system of Swift Playgrounds and how children are taught with it in schools as well as Apple headquarters to program in an easy way. He said that in order to provide better education, he welcomed a new product, the iPad.
Quickly, Tim Cook talked about the iPad and how it is used in schools and education, then left the platform to Greg Joswiak, who completed Tim's talk and said that there are 200,000 applications designed specifically for education on the iPad, and then he said that there is a new iPad and it provides for the first time an important feature that is better. An economical iPad, the "new iPad" now supports Apple's latest creative tool, which is the iPad Pro Professional pen.
Then we moved on to the details of using the Apple Pencil, as well as it was clarified that Apple had updated its Pages, Numbers and Keynote applications to support the use of the Apple Pencil.
Thus, you can express with the pen however you want and in any application, as well as there will be features to come such as "Smart Annotation", which allows you to add marks in a more professional way.
As for the technical specifications, it was similar to the previous generation in design and screen, but the processor was improved to become the A10 "iPhone 7 processor" without almost any changes except for this matter. Even the price will be the same as it starts from $ 329 for the 32 GB version, but there will be a $ 30 reduction for students, which becomes $ 299
Then Apple talked about upcoming updates and applications such as an application called Boulevard AR, which enables you to interact and draw on virtual boards in the classroom, as well as the Free Rivers application, and Apple will also update Garageband and Clips applications. It will be a new feature called "Apple School Manager" which targets schools with less than 1500 students. The person responsible for the feature or the school account can create student accounts in less than a minute.
Apple also said that the free storage space granted in the cloud, which is 5 GB, will be increased to 200 GB.
Apple also announced the first iPad stylus, not from its own production, but from the Logitech company, called the Crayon Pen, and its price is only $ 49.
It also announced more benefits for teachers and students, such as providing the Classroom application on the Mac system "soon in June," as well as Apple will launch an application called "Schoolwork" and by means of which the teacher can define the duties of the students that they have to do and watch the students' progress in solving the assignments.
Apple also announced more benefits for teachers, such as a tool that allows them to create curricula and topics that they will explain in the classroom, and Apple said that it is very easy, as anyone can use it, so you can take a picture with the camera and modify it with a pen, as well as add voice notes on a specific part of it.
After reviewing the advantages in detail, Tim Cook returned to the theater to conclude the conference, where he spoke quickly about the advantages and their uses, reviewed several promotional videos, and the conference ended.
If you are interested in the field of education, what most of what was mentioned in the conference caught your attention? Did we, like us, expect more of it and feel disappointed by Apple?
Source:
The conference announcement is clear .. and what is stated in it is completely consistent with the announcement.
The interest in the educational aspect of Apple has many dimensions, and I see it as a great effort in its planning and implementation. It is a special "principle" of Apple's approach just as much as it cares about the environment in its facilities and products.
If the conference had any product or application and the other is far from the educational goal .. here I would have disappointed me and my confidence in Apple .. and maybe it will move to Android. Hahahaha (of course impossible).
I mean, there is no iPhone se2☹️

I liked your attention to some details
Apple has streamlined this conference in order to remind American educational institutions that they have an iPad and a pen 😂😂😂 You want to buy from them after the chrome book has swept away their education
Does the stylus that Apple presented at the conference support the iPad mini 2 (Crayon Pen) ????
Apple was founded to fight lethargy in providing something real that benefits humanity, so we will remain with Apple and the conference, and Apple's interest in teaching children to code is great and this is not new to Apple as Steve Jobs used to contribute to supporting widows to educate their children. Steve's approach
He strongly denounced the method of criticism and the personal style of commenting, knowing that the greater the rate of criticism, the volume of Apple increased in various fields ...!
The conference is very clear that it targets students and teachers, and we also note that the critics may not be from this segment ...!
For me, the conference is a product and gives an indication of the company's penetration into the education sector, and this is wonderful because it targeted this segment, because the future of artificial intelligence began scrambling with great strides.
We also note that the conference throws promising future indicators and dimensions, as it tries to implant the concept of technology in the minds of young people and enable the painting devices to be optimized.
Where are the tech giants about this disadvantage? This kind of competition will have a benefit and value in the future.
It is true, my brother Saeed, I agree with you in this conference, and what we saw in it of Apple's increasing interest in the educational process is a beautiful thing, in addition to that it is not reflected on Apple and its users only, but will invite competing companies to do the same and to compete as well, and to open new technological horizons in this important field, which will be reflected on education in many countries with benefit, progress and change. Quality for the best for future generations and tomorrow's men
I also agree with you
The technology giant has existed for a long time, so what were the schools adopting before this conference? There is a feverish race between Microsoft and Google in the education sector, and Apple came later in this field, and in comparison to the short history of its presence in the education sector, its share is very small. Every step you take
I agree with you
True, my brother Samir, I agree with you ... the problem of many Apple users is that they are closed in to their company and believe that no one offers anything good or offers a good initiative except their company and you see that is evident in the responses in which they indicate that Apple is the only one who has done this and is distinguished by it and that Samsung and others have not You do something although it is not true at all Thank you for clarifying the truth 👍
Apple also said that the free storage space granted in the cloud, which is 5 GB, will be increased to 200 GB.
Ok, is this in the near future and not the date when my nation?
Thank you
For students only if the university provides this
Thank you for transferring the conference first
Second, I was hoping they would announce the SE device, which I was very excited about
It is especially nice because it is affordable, has special features for students, and the educational application Thank you 🌹
I love Apple for its interest in matters of education and the creation of generations, and its special concern for people with special needs, it is true that most of these matters are dedicated to the West, especially America, but we cannot affix the description of failure and unimportant and nothing new nor ,,, nor ,,,, (as stated in the comments Many ignorant people) just because we did not "currently" benefit from these great things or because we love Android or hate iOS
A good thing is good even if you hate it or do not benefit from it for one reason or another
Go up the bottom crowded
Very cool and totally agree with you
Nice words, but a gift from this, my brother Rami. His money is necessary to describe those who disagree with your opinion or not fans of the conference as ignorant. Respect for the other opinion is required and from the sophistication you call for.
My friend Majid, I did not describe all those who disagree with my opinion as ignorance. Rather, I identified the group that criticized this conference with attributes (failure, new and unimportant ...). This particular group is very provocative and described them as ignorance in this area. I mean (to speak with what you do not know is ignorance)
In my life, I did not enter the Android forum (knowing that my secondary device is Android), and I criticized the system on the contrary. I testify that Android for two years has been making qualitative leaps كس unlike its users 😉
Criticism just for the sake of criticism is something provocative at times, and I know with certainty that there are children stuck here, so I do not respond most of the time.
Accept my regards, my esteemed friend 👍🏻
Beautiful and greetings to you too, my dear brother Rami 🌹
You offended them, so apologize, so nothing will harm you, and we all make mistakes, and justifying a mistake makes it more entrenched
You added another offense to your opponents when you said that Android makes leaps and bounds unlike its users, I mean, you came back and described them as ignorance in a second way, and it included all without exception.
Dear Samir, I repeat and I repeat that I did not include everyone. At first I dedicated some commentators to the article and ridicule it, and secondly when I said ((Android achieves qualitative leaps unlike its users)), this means that Android in its steps preceded most of its users who take slow steps by looking at Android forums and into Now XNUMX percent of them are interested in downloading a YouTube clip, a free cracking program, or changing a theme and tone.
I did not and will not offend anyone because of a dispute over a technical issue. This is a specific description of a specific group.
pleasure for me to see you
When we see ios11.3 is too late, it is supposed to TODAY - it will come down
My dear brother, no one has announced that the update will be issued at a certain time .. it may be issued during this week or next week .. but there is no official announcement from Apple in this regard
App conference
Hello Apple
How much storage capacity will be, I am subscribed to 200GB
There is no change to the storage capacity of the average user .. But if you are a student and your educational institution supports the Apple educational system, you will get XNUMX GB for free ..
The best thing is 200 GB for education
The best thing is the iPad, its price and features, an excellent conference (((for education)))
good luck for everbody
A failed company does not have anything to offer
Never so much!
bullshit
My brother Majid, I partially agree with you that Apple has failed several times in the last four years, but I do not think that it has completely failed, so it is still possible that it will come back.
Insha'Allah
Apple is nothing new, and frankly, I became very bored with their products, so I turned to Android, which has a lot of control and things have changed simply, although I am with Apple from the days of the iPhone XNUMXG
Hey Hani, this conference is not for products only for education. If you see new revolutionary products, wait for the WWDC conference and see how the new iPad is developed, and and ...
Correct a lot of Android controls where you can set a ringtone without iTunes complications This is freedom 🤔
My dear: The programs, applications, and educational matters announced by Apple are worth a lot to a community that cares about its generations. I have not heard, neither about Samsung nor others, I have been interested in such a topic to this degree.
Apple's lover
Ramy
O men of the people, every concern changes its tone and theme, what do you think they care about, for example. Excellent conference for teachers and their students. A company that works perfectly for itself and its country, and a quarter wants XNUMX advantages in water, including what they use ... They feel you have changed from Android to become geniuses, for example.
Even iPhone users have become geniuses ... intelligence and genius are determined by the type of device you use
Revolutionary time unit 😄
We have not seen something revolutionary from Apple from years ago, neither in WWDC nor any other .. The greatest of what was issued and gave birth to the camel iPhone X and this is with me four months ago, a normal device like other leading phones that has not been provided
Brother Hani Sahih, I agree with you, Apple has become very boring, and if I did not know about Apple's capabilities, I would have thought that it was bankrupt and no longer had what it had to offer, neither at the level of designs, nor at the level of technology or at the system level, everything became repetitive and very boring even if this conference was good in terms of education support Thanks for your logical and unemotional comment
If you know that all Android phones do not know where their data goes and that the 4GB memory is enough for me because I do not trust that I rely on Android even other companies What do you offer smart fridges only I do not hold the Android phone with me if I use it like the iPhone 6 months
My brother, Staff .. this was previously, but now it has become excellent. Its system is stable and serves for several years according to the benefit of many of its users. And God knows best.
????
Smart Noor 👍
Absolutely Abu Talal
Go to YouTube and take a look at the education system in South Korea to see Samsung's activity and creativity in this field not yesterday, but since it began technology, and this company is keeping pace with the development of the education sector in its country. Not knowing something does not mean that it does not exist.
A sophisticated response, thank you
These year, they certainly expect, they expect that Apple will mark a breakthrough in iPad designs and capabilities
My brother Samir is a very wonderful thing, and it is not strange for a very giant global company such as Samsung, but unfortunately Apple users do not know about these efforts and achievements of Samsung in this field, and I am one of them I did not know about this matter, and as I preferred not to know about the thing does not mean that it does not exist
My friend, my friend, where did you go about it !!! ??
We are talking about two systems (IOS & Android). What got into Samsung and what it does in Korea in the field of education, uh? !!
"All major companies in the world have roles in education, economy, culture and tourism in partnership with governments in their countries."
Tell me what Google and its Android system have done ??
Apple at this conference laid down approaches and outlines a new approach to the relationship between students and professors, as well as systems for education and a future that will be generalized.
Not knowing this does not mean that it is not there
🤣🤣
Very nice, my brother Rami, for you to get out of the predicament in this way ... to your messengers, even Google has certainly many achievements in this field..It is strange that thinking that Apple is the only technology company on this planet who does this even though there are several international and very large companies And not just Apple 🤔 Greetings to you, my friend Rami 😉
Greetings my friend Majid 💐
The most important of all: 200 GB cloud is it for everyone or for students and schools
👍🏻
Students and schools only "student account"
Only for students, teachers and of course in accredited schools and universities.
Very cool
May Allah reward you all the best for your summary of the conference
May God help our children, they will be complicated, like Apple. I fear the child. Whatever speaks except with iTunes I mean, what information is spoken المهم المهم What is important to us with regard to iCloud, which I said, it will be 200 GB. This is for all people, not only certain people
Only for students, teachers and of course in accredited schools and universities.
Finally, paper and pen were dispensed with, and the price began to become affordable for everyone
