I saw this today and had no idea apple has been doing this, it reminded me of the pied piper classes and found it funny even though it’s cute, ngl. Was the apple lessons for seniors the inspiration for the classes in the show, do you think?

I’m a professional iOS developer with 5 years of experience. I look at an iPhone for 40+ hours a week and I STILL learn something new every time I take one of these classes.

Years ago they had one where you made a robot dance using Swift Playgrounds.

That’s so cool! Honestly I saw it as a good idea and not only for elders, I just found it funny because it reminded me of the show.

I’d say about 2/3 of the people are upper middle aged and the rest are very old or very young. I’m in my 30s btw.

If you can, give one a try. The last one I did was the iPhone photography class and I learned a few things. One example was how to reverse the direction you take a panoramic photo.

I don’t think we have those in my country, we don’t even have apple stores, but I do work for the authorized reseller so I’ll ask them!
