Apple Products followup
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
On 5 October 2011, P. Morris made a request for information pertaining to the BBC's use and purchase of Apple iPhones, Apple iPads, and Apple Macs. The request can be seen on the WhatDoTheyKnow website here:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...
The information given was useful in seeing how much the BBC is spending on this hardware, however, two years on, I feel as though it is outdated.
Could you please provide
1) An updated breakdown showing the quantity of each device
purchased during each month since that request (October 2011 through September 2013)
2) Updated details of any supply or discount agreements with Apple.
3) How iPads and iPhones are used at the BBC, and..
4) ..why other alternatives (which are in many cases cheaper and more capable than their Apple counterparts) are not being used instead
Yours faithfully,
Joel Russell
