We've let Apple buy its way into our school systems. Of course kids are going to gravitate toward iPhones. Part of their schooling every day from Kindergarten is using iOS.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. My kids school is all Chromebook and I think many are these days.

I'm sure it varies by state and maybe district, but around here, it's iPads K-5, then MacBooks 6-12.

That sounds really expensive.

Probably. My quick search is only turning up articles from 20 years ago when the partnership started: "The deal is worth US$37.2 million over the next four years."

Seriously there has never been so many different options for tech in schools these days.

When I was in school the computers were all original macintoshes with the school upgrading to the iMac G3’s in the early 2000. (I loved the design of those computers except that damn hockey puck)

9-12 was MS office and Windows 2000/XP though

Now the same school uses chrome books, windows 10, google workspace and classroom and the only apple products are just a cart of iPads they let kindergarten and first graders use
