Making The Grade: It’s hypocritical for Apple to promote privacy while not offering a G-Suite alternative

<p>I’ll make a statement that might be unpopular: Apple shouldn’t promote their privacy stance to schools when they aren’t offering a compelling service that schools can sign up for that replaces G-Suite. They’ve built solutions for schools that are siloed off from most of the student information systems without making an identity management system (https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/10/making-the-grade-apple-identity-management-solution/). They’ve created solutions (like Classkit,  (https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/27/apple-announces-classkit-classwork-app/)Apple Business Manager (https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-business-manager/), and Apple School Manager) that don’t 100% replace anything else a school or business has. They’ve simply added more overhead (https://9to5mac.com/2018/06/30/making-the-grade-clever-identity-management-k-12/) to deploying iPad. Apple proclaiming their stance on privacy while also accepting a 9 billion payment from Google (https://9to5mac.com/2018/09/28/google-paying-apple-9-billion-default-seach-engine/) just makes them look hypocritical. If Apple is really concerned about privacy (https://9to5mac.com/2018/10/02/tim-cook-vice-interview/), they need to be building tools to replace what Google offers enterprise and education customers. Let me explain how.</p>
