CHICAGO \u00a0\u2014 Apple wants to play a more prominent role in education, but it isn\u2019t willing to cut prices to make the grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead, Apple is clinging to a thesis that has helped turn it into the world\u2019s most valuable company: Our products are more expensive, but they\u2019re worth it.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the company introduced a variety of features tailored for teachers and students while keeping the price for its cheapest iPad tablet unchanged, even as budget-strapped school administrators have been turning to cheaper devices powered by software from Google and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

The new iPad starts at $329 for the mass market and $299 for schools \u2014 the same as last year\u2019s model. Apple is adding the ability to use its digital pencil to write and draw on the screen of the new iPad \u2014 something previously limited to its more expensive line of iPad Pro tablets. The pencil costs $99 extra, or $89 for schools.<\/p>\n

By contrast, most Google Chromebooks sell for $200 to $250, though there\u2019s no pencil option.<\/p>\n

Apple is also rolling out a new educational app called Schoolwork to help teachers make assignments and monitor their students\u2019 progress.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s offering teachers and students 200 gigabytes of free storage through its iCloud service so they can access documents, photos and other digital content from any internet-connected device. Apple normally offers 5 gigabytes for free and charges $3 per month for 200 gigabytes.<\/p>\n

As it often does, Apple resorted to some theatrical staging to help convey a message. In an unusual move, the Silicon Valley company held its annual springtime event at a Chicago high school to highlight its renewed emphasis on education \u2014 a niche that Apple has long focused on to get kids hooked on its products with the hope of converting them into life-long customers.<\/p>\n

In 2017, laptops and tablets running Google\u2019s Chrome or Android system accounted for nearly 60 percent of the mobile computing devices sold in classrooms from kindergarten through 12th grade, according to the research firm Futuresource Consulting. Microsoft\u2019s Windows devices ranked second with 22 percent of the market, followed by Apple\u2019s iPad and Macintosh laptops. That\u2019s a reversal of fortune from 2013, when Apple held a 50 percent share of mobile computing in U.S. classrooms.<\/p>\n

Technology analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights believes Apple will have to lower prices to reclaim its perch because \u201cschools want low-cost solutions that are very simple to use.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Apple moved the ball forward, but I don\u2019t see districts swapping out Chromebooks or PCs en masse,\u201d Moorhead said.<\/p>\n
