This feels super classist.

Apple's Schiller said that while iPads are the “ultimate tool for a child to learn on,” kids with Chromebooks are “not going to succeed.” https://t.co/HeH5yvpGIY pic.twitter.com/ZCa5MwZLPE

Shame on you @pschiller for telling @verge "kids w/ #Chromebooks are 'not going to succeed.'" Quality education comes from teachers' effort & kids' hard work—not @apple. @jjvincent gets it: "Success sometimes depends on more than just what’s cutting-edge." https://t.co/wSMrg2XWhn

It’s usually easy to laugh off Apple’s elitism, but these comments from Phil Schiller about kids with Chromebooks being less likely to succeed is insidious https://t.co/SjReFsGBgS

And also, more importantly: they didn’t listen for four years, never apologized, and left people spending thousands on computers they now need to replace already

Wow, Apples defacto head of public relations saying the equivalent of schools need to pay 5x more to get MacBooks for their kids vs Chromebooks doesn't come off well. Being at Apple for awhile you forget that not everyone has unlimited budgets. Schools need help not chiding ffs https://t.co/GbGNaIGckb

Apple in 2017: Y'all are crazy, there's nothing wrong with that keyboard.

2018: We've identified a minor flaw in our keyboard and have fixed it, it's fine now.

2019: LOL jk yeah we knew the keyboard was a disaster all along, we just couldn't admit it until we had a new one.

Yes, Chromebooks made it into the classroom because Chromebooks are cheap.

There was a time when Apple committed to giving computers away in California schools, which is why so many of them had Apple IIs.

In other Apple news, I'm happy that they've finally accepted defeat with the butterfly keyboard! The new 16" MacBook has reverted to scissor-style keys, A PHYSICAL ESC BUTTON!!, and a fixed arrow key arrangement. Halle-fucking-lujah! https://t.co/SXpoENxOi3

— DHH (@dhh) November 13, 2019

Wow. Wowwowiewowwow.

This is the language Apple is using to combat Chromebooks?

Kids who use Macbooks (which are quite cost prohibitive) are going to succeed and the kids using the Chromebooks (which are in financial reach for many more kids and school districts) aren’t?

WOW. https://t.co/QmBIh2Bv8O

— EricaJoy (@EricaJoy) November 13, 2019

What I'm less happy about is the fact that they continue to deny and deflect on the root cause. A more humble, mature, and kind Apple would have taken THAT crisis as an opportunity to turn the page, and actually own their mistakes. We want Apple to succeed! But only by doing righ

— DHH (@dhh) November 13, 2019

There's a new MacBook Pro, and it has a 16-inch display and Apple has gone back to scissor switches for the keyboard. It still has the Touch Bar, though https://t.co/In7qItNzFz pic.twitter.com/kRrfyS6OCf

Apple’s marketing spin on these new MacBook Pros is all about “listening to “customers,” but it’s pretty important to note that @caseyjohnston and @joannastern are the actual people who highlighted the problems with the previous keyboards over and over again in their reporting

— nilay patel (@reckless) November 13, 2019

The screen on the new MacBook Pro is less than 4% larger than the current 15.4 inch. So it’s really going to be about the higher resolution, impressive speakers, noise cancelling microphones and of course the all new keyboard (similar to the iMac external Magic Keyboard).

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) November 13, 2019

It just hit me that, across the PowerBook and MacBook lineups, Apple has now made models in 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17-inch sizes.

Make an 18-inch MacBook you cowards.

— Ben Thompson (@benthompson) November 13, 2019

I think Apple pretty much nailed it with the 16-inch MacBook Pro. They really addressed a ton of complaints with the scissor keyboard, physical Esc key, inverse-T arrow keys, plus it is faster, has longer battery life, has more RAM and storage, and still starts at $2,399.

— Joe Rossignol (@rsgnl) November 13, 2019

The 16" MBP's default display setting is a simulated 1792x1120 at 2X, scaled to the actual native panel resolution of 3072x1920.

One step "larger" and it's 1536x960 at true, unscaled 2X on the panel.

The "most space" option is 2048x1280. https://t.co/aOEffH1SmT pic.twitter.com/mgH93YPwue

It's also not a great look that in order to get a functional keyboard, you have to spend at least $2,400. But I accept that change takes time. And surely now the long Apple nightmare that was the butterfly keyboard will be over in a few months. https://t.co/t6AhKYMsBC
