The Apple Education Event 2018: All the details + What YOU actually care about

Here's the deal. Every spring, Apple has a keynote to reveal their new products and updates. This year, they decided to break off from Cali and go to a high school in Chicago to talk about Education and what role Apple plays in it. This is all gonna go down on March 27th by the way. Hey, if Android phones are getting better and you start losing the game, playing nice and making cost-effective products just makes sense. Right?

So the first thing I'm bringing up is probably the most important thing to consumers like you and I which is the low-cost, under $300 iPad. Fist off, I'm wondering how they're gonna keep up with the demands of this iPad once it comes out. However, this is great news for people in school that are having a hard time getting their hands on good quality tech that will help them bridge the gaps that they might have between themselves and success. Not only that, Apple has said that the low-cost iPad "will likely" support the Apple Pencil. Also great news because it helps you get notes done and is low-cost because you'll be paying less for paper helping your pocket and the environment. 

I really need to point out though that this all rumor based! However, Apple apparently 'accidentally' released a framework for a "ClassKit" in the iOS 11.3 betas. (WHOPIESSSS) According to Apple firmware hunter Guilherme Rambo, ClassKit will give developers new options for creating educational apps (like being able to have quizzes and tests through the iPads and have the answers sent to the teacher LIVE). Since this was found accidentally and this new Keynote is about education, you better bet you;re gonna see this.

You can also expect things like an iBooks 2 which is supposed to make it easier to create textbooks according to The Verge. Also, we've been waiting for things like AirPower, the wireless charging mat that we've been promised back in September. Or at least give us a specific date! There's also a pretty credible rumor that we could be expecting a new Macbook or Macbook Air, hopefully one that is a cheaper version just like the iPad. If Apple follows through with these promises, they've really got my vote. I do believe in giving everyone the best tech possible no matter what economic situation they're in because without tech in 2018, your ability to work and study is impaired which makes it hard for you to leave the economic situation you are in. 

Android P and What it Means for Developers and Users

With the final APIs being released early June and the final release being at Q3 (probably around August), the clock is ticking for developers and for excited users alike!

By now, you've probably seen a million articles about this new Android flavor but before you get too excited, I have some bad news for you. Android P will only be available for Pixel Phones (it might be available on other devices but that's up to Samsung or whatever company created the device. Since this is the case, they probably wont be having Android P on their phones until the next phone is released as an incentive to buyers.)

Also, I'm sorry to have to break it to you but there's more. Android P promised a camera feature that cuts the size of a jpeg about 35% without losing much of the quality. I don't know about you, but I would love to be able to have the same amount of photos that I have with less space (which is all the space my phone has). And forget about androids. Think about having this on PC or for any other things that you usually max out the storage for. Imagine having this for businesses!
