Apple Selling Microsoft Office 365 for iPad Pro

March 24, 2016

The last I checked, Microsoft is not selling any Apple products, but the reverse is true. Apple is now offering Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions as an accessory for its iPad Pro. It's an interesting move. Apple has a competing product in its iWork suite and you can get free versions of Office 365 that run on a device with a screen smaller than 10.1 inches, which would include the iPad Pro (9.7 inch screen). Even though Office for the iPad gets the iPad closer to a productivity device, it is a far cry from being a laptop replacement. Perhaps offering Office 365 as an optional accessory is a last ditch effort by Apple to reverse the steep decline of sales. I don't think it's going to work.
