<hr />
<p>I’ve talked a lot of ways that Apple needs to improve its education offering in recent weeks. One of the significant ways is with <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/10/making-the-grade-apple-identity-management-solution/">identity management</a>. I even wrote about my <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/28/making-the-grade-why-apples-education-strategy-is-not-based-on-reality/">disappointment</a> with Apple’s most recent education event as well. While Apple has a lot of ways to improve to match Google’s K–12 offering, they do dominate in a <em>big</em> way in one area: the app ecosystem.</p>

Losing the ability to receive notifications and update timelines as new tweets arrive would significantly limit apps like <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/developer/tapbots/id293642940?mt=8&at=10laZc&pt=11l8808">Tweetbot</a> and <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/developer/the-iconfactory/id281795483?mt=8&at=10laZc&pt=11l8808">Twitterrific</a> which serve the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.</p>

In the UK, at least, you can’t always get one at short notice unless it’s an emergency. You may not be able to get a convenient time-slot. And you’ll often have to take time off work to travel perhaps an hour or more round-trip for a consultation lasting ten minutes.</p>
<p>Video consultations have been available for some time, but it’s only recently – thanks to a trial here in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) – that I got around to trying it for myself. And I’m sold …</p>

We did, though, learn two new things yesterday.</p>
<p>Last year, all that Apple said about timing was that the new machine wouldn’t be released that year.</p>
<blockquote><p>As part of doing a new Mac Pro — it is, by definition, a modular system — we will be doing a pro display as well. Now you won’t see any of those products this year; we’re in the process of that. We think it’s really important to create something great for our pro customers who want a Mac Pro modular system, and that’ll take longer than this year to do.</p></blockquote>
<p>That left open the possibility that the machine might be launched in 2018, or it might be later – and we now know it’s the latter …</p>
