Dude, please stop.

The Walter Isaacson biography was a complete disaster. If that's the best thing you've read about Apple its very clear why you are so misinformed. Isaacson had never worked with Jobs prior, and had NO understanding of the material he was covering. Many people who knew Steve well guessed he did this intentionally to add to his mystique.

If you'd like to read a high quality biography by two journalists who had worked closely with Jobs for over 40 years and watched Jobs grow as a human and CEO, it's called Becoming Steve Jobs.

The author which the book is written from the perspective of had spent many a late Sunday night with Jobs processing what had happened the week prior in off the record conversations. It's excellent, and it actually explains why his time with NeXT was necessary, why NeXT is the core of everything Apple has done since, and what happened at Pixar, which were all completely glossed over by Isaacson

How does Chromecast work: "Chromecast acts as a transmitter between your TV and your streaming video provider, like a cable box or an antenna. Netflix (or YouTube, or Hulu, or Google Play) broadcasts content to your Chromecast, which then displays on your TV. To learn how to use it with a mobile device, consult the Tom's Guide how-to." and "Chromecast has access to video and audio content from many services. Google keeps track of many of these on its official site, although there is no comprehensive list. Ever since Google released the software development kit for Chromecast, new apps have been springing up frequently, so keep an eye out for more apps."

In 2014 Google released an SDK which allowed for 3rd parties to develop apps which scan content on your phone and allow you to play stream it locally. None of these Apps are first party, and all of them require developer support.

In contrast, AirPlay works at the OS level, so absolutely any content which can display or playback on my device can be streamed via AirPlay, without support from 3rd parties. In practice, this means I can use my AppleTV as a true second display for my monitor, and can stream games to it to play on my TV, or can be streaming something while also playing the game on my computer.

Additionally, AirPlay will work with content which is explicitly attempting to block streaming, and thus could not work with Chromecast. As an example, prior to HBO Go, HBO attempted to block streaming, but I could use AirPlay anyway. TNT followed suit, and I was able to watch TNT from my iPad for 4 years before they decided to make a proper app.

You are correct that iOS devices only let you stream to 1 device at a time. AirPlay actually has been capable of more, as you've been able to AirPlay to multiple devices at once from iTunes for over a decade. I'm not sure why you are saying Chromecast can do this functionality, because according to reality and Google themselves, you cannot. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/K7peQRnrF4Q

AirPlay 2 will play to multiple devices at once, but it actually goes a step further enabling multi-room and scene support through HomeKit. This is not a rumor, as Apple explicitly laid out this functionality in their keynote, which you clearly have not watched.

I have no idea why you are brining up 4k TVs and Chromebooks, I'm glad you enjoy the products. By the way, if you think your pictures look good on a 4k TV, you should see how they look on the P3 5k iMac display which offers a few extra hundred million colors over the nicest OLED 4K TV money can buy.

As for Chromebooks in school, I'm sorry your school has no regards for your students privacy. https://www.thatoldnews.site/news/2017/4/21/the-cost-of-free?rq=chromebooks

Chromebooks are a nice thin client, and I'm very happy your wife is enjoying hers. They can become a much more useful machine if you decide to install linux on them. https://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/

Apple still does very well in the education market, and when I was helping teach some 5 year olds to code, we asked them to draw a computer. They all drew iPads. Also, more important than what people are forced to use for free is what they choose to buy with their own money. MacBooks still dominate college campuses and coffee houses, so your fears might be a tad off base. Regardless, you seem to be pulling at straws here though, because this couldn't be more off topic.

So, in summary, no I do not need to rewrite my meticulously researched book which includes an Appendix to the over 1,000 reviews and product breakdowns I link to and source throughout the book. It includes the most in-depth review\breakdown as well as a video review for every major product revision (hardware and software) since 2004.

For someone your age, it is very concerning you have not learned how to grasp when someone is more knowledgeable on a topic than you and be willing to learn from them. I'm not sure how old you think I am, but it's likely far older than you're guessing. That said, it couldn't be a less relevant point in any conversation, so I'm not going to get involved in your pissing contests.

At literally every stage of this conversation you have shown yourself to be well outside of your depth. I will no longer be replying to your comments until it becomes clear you've taken the time to be a rational player in this conversation.

I thought Becoming Steve Jobs was a much better book.
