Apple’s newest product, built for the kids ✏️
This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowApple’s newest product, built for the kids ✏️
Yesterday, Apple rolled out their newest line of education products at Lane Tech High School in Chicago.
This focus isn't surprising: students who learn on Apple devices are more likely to stay within the Apple ecosystem as they grow up.
Tim Cook is playing catch-up: 30 million children use Google education apps like Gmail and Docs, and Google's browser-only Chromebook accounts for more than half the mobile devices shipped to schools.
Their big announcement of the day: a new 9.7" iPad, which includes:
✏️ Apple Pencil support so you can draw beautifully
🔋 10-hour battery life for late night Fortnite gaming
☁️ Free 200GB iCloud storage for students
It's normally $329, but students can buy it for a discount of $299. 👀
Apple also announced a complete redesign of their Microsoft Office clone iWork, and a new app called Schoolwork built specifically to help teachers assign work and track progress. No tree killing involved. 🌳

Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
