WEBVTT - Apple Updates Entry Level iPad with Pencil Support

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Apple updates its most popular iPad. I'm Rich Demiro. This

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>is Rich on Tech Daily. Apple held an event today

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to update its most popular iPad, that's the nine point

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>seven inch model that starts at three hundred and twenty

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>nine dollars. They held an event in Chicago that was

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>at a school and it was all about education. Apple

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>really wants to get the iPad in more classrooms, and

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>this is what they're doing to it to make that

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>possible with a better processor and now it can support

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the Apple pencil. And that's a big deal if you're

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>in a classroom, because you want to be able to

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>jot down notes, you want to mark up screenshots, you

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>want to do all that good stuff that you can

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>do that the Apple pencil lets you do. This isn't

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>necessarily a new iPad. It's basically the same iPad we've

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>seen before, that three hundred and twenty nine dollars model,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>just above the Mini and just below the iPad Pro.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And this is the model that I think most people

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>are going to be interested in for the everyday user.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>The new iPad now as the A ten fusion chip inside,

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>which is faster than before. This is not a brand

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>new chip. It's been around since twenty sixteen. It was

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>first introduced in the iPhone seven, but now it's in

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>this iPad as well. Apple says it's forty percent faster

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and fifty percent faster for graphics. The new iPad's going

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to come in silver, space, gray, and a new gold finish.

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It will sell for three hundred and twenty nine dollars,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>which is the same price as the model it replaces.

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>That's for a thirty two gigabyte Wi Fi model. If

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you want that cellular connectivity built in, that's going to

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.839
<v Speaker 1>be four hundred and fifty nine dollars for a thirty

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>two gigabyte model. Now, if you want that Apple pencil,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it is not built in. You don't get that for free.

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 1>It is still a ninety nine dollars add on. Apple

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>has some educational pricing for the iPad. Schools can purchase

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it for two hundred ninety nine dollars. That Apple pencil

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>just ten dollars off. At eighty nine dollars, you're looking

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>at three hundred and ninety dollars for just one student

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to get the iPad along with the Apple pencil. That's

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of expensive. The iPad, the new one is available

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to order today. It's going to arrive in stores later

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this week. Now, this is all very interesting because Apple

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>is big. We know a lot of people have iPhones

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and I still think the iPad is definitely the gold

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>standard when it comes to tablets. But if you look

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>inside the classroom environment, a lot of schools that I

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>visit are using chromebooks, and I think with that in mind, Google,

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>if you heard the news they unveiled a tablet yesterday,

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a tablet sort of aimed at schools as well. This

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>is their first tablet that's running the Chrome operating system.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>It's called the Acer Chromebook Tab ten and this is

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>also three hundred and twenty nine dollars. But the difference

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>between this tablet and previous Android tablets is that it

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't run Android software. It's running Chrome OS. It's the

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>same software that Chromebook laptops in a lot of classrooms

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.839
<v Speaker 1>are running right now. The device also has a stylus

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>built in, so you don't have to pay extra for

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that stylus. So this is three hundred and twenty nine

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>dollars for everything. There you have it. New products from

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Google and Apple aimed at the classroom, and at the

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. I think it's great if kids

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>are exposed to a combination of these products. So they

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>have an iPhone, they know what iOS is all about.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 1>iPads are great, they run that same thing. But it's

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>good for them to also know what Android is all about,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>what chromos is all about, and of course what Windows

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>is all about, because they all offer different things and

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>work in different ways, and for the kids to be

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the most successful in their lives, I think it's going

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to be great for them to be exposed to a

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>combination of platforms. Thanks so much for listening. If you
