Right after Apple announced that it wants the iPad Pro to be the "ultimate PC replacement device," the company offers its new customers the opportunity to purchase a subscription of Office 365 with every iPad Pro.
Along with Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboards, Smart Covers, and several overpriced adapters the company also offers three different subscription options Microsoft Office 365.
Yes, Apple actively promotes a Microsoft product to iPad buyers.
- Microsoft Office 365 Personal (1 Subscription Time 1 License) for $ 69.95
- Microsoft Office 365 Home (1 Subscription Time 5 Licenses) for $ 99.95
- Microsoft Office 365 University – 2 Licenses for $79.95
The offer is valid for those who also buy iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 4.
Let's say it is the first time Apple has a choice of third party buyers, and this is a clear indication of how seriously it takes the challenge of replacing 600 with millions of old PCs in circulation.
And the next time you think there is a "holy war" between Apple and Microsoft, remember this post…
