Apple introduces iPad mini built for Apple Intelligence

lol as if teachers have money to buy this to make their lessons plans.

You might be surprised as to how many are willing to make the splurge. Anecdotal, but I'm married to a high school teacher. She and several of her coworkers have been willing to eat the cost personally just to avoid using dated district-provided assets, which are often clucky and make the job worse.

This is the salary schedule for teacher in the district my kids were in:

Teachers get $55k-$72k depending on their qualifications. Not great, but not poverty levels either. If they want an iPad, they can probably get one.
