Apple is reportedly ready to announce a cheaper iPad model geared towards educators and students at its upcoming March 27 event in Chicago.
Apple's new focus on education and a potential release of a lower-priced iPad for students is directly aimed at a market that's dominated by Google Chromebooks and Android tablets.
The educational market is worth around $17.7B globally and Google holds a big chunk of it - 60% share.
Currently Apple's cheapest iPad will run you €399 for a 32GB variant. On the opposite end there are a bunch of Chromebooks by Asus, Samsung and Acer that cost below $300.
Apple may also be working on a cheaper Mac, aimed at students but it will be announced later on.
