Apple today unveiled an all-new 15-inch MacBook Pro, featuring a stunning Retina display with over 5 million pixels, all-flash storage architecture, and quad-core processors in a radically thin and light design. Measuring a mere 0.71 inch high and weighing only 4.46 pounds, the completely redesigned MacBook Pro is the lightest MacBook Pro ever and nearly as thin as a MacBook Air. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available through the Apple Online Store and Apple Retail Stores, starting at $2,199 (US).

NetWorkWorld – First-day buyer of original 2007 iPhone found love and connectivity
First-day buyer of original 2007 iPhone found love and connectivity
June 29, 2007, the day the original iPhone went on sale, was a big day for Web developer Honey Berk. She got the Apple smartphone and a fiancé.
Today, she still has both, though the latter gets more use than the former. She’s still an iPhone user, with an iPhone 4S, along with a new iPad to replace her original iPad (which she just sold on Craigslist for an astonishing $350). And five years later, the phone has become a constant and indispensable part of her personal life and professional work.
Five years ago, her long-time boyfriend, Roy Harp, set out at 2 a.m. on Thursday June 28 to join the lengthening line outside Apple’s SoHo neighborhood retail store at 103 Prince St. in lower Manhattan. People there and across the U.S. were lining up in hopes of buying the first iPhone, which had been unveiled by Apple CEO Steve Jobs barely six months earlier. He told her he wanted to buy the iPhone as a present for her upcoming birthday in July. She spent a few hours with him in line that night, and rejoined him the next day to enter the store when it opened.
It was a hot day in downtown New York, and the street and store were jammed, and the excitement of enthusiastic tech lovers was infectious, she recalls. Jubilant first buyers danced out waving the boxed iPhone to applause and cheers from those still in line and from Apple employees.
T-Mobile Turns on iPhone-Compatible Network at WWDC
T-Mobile Turns on iPhone-Compatible Network at WWDC
T-Mobile may have a million iPhones running on its network, but they’re all crawling along at slow EDGE speeds. That’s going to change over the next several months as the carrier “refarms” 3G spectrum to become more compatible with AT&T-specced phones.
Where better to test that than the iPhone scrum known as the Apple Worldwide Developers’ Conference? T-Mobile confirmed to 9to5Mac yesterday that it’ll turn on 1900Mhz HSPA+ “inside the west side of the Moscone Center” where the event will be held this coming Monday, although the company added that “the time and location of this test is just coincidental.”
Yeah, right.
T-Mobile’s refarming won’t just help iPhone owners. T-Mobile’s 1700Mhz AWS spectrum is supported by fewer devices than the more mainstream 1900Mhz band, so unlocked Android phones that couldn’t hit 3G on T-Mobile before will finally be able to do so.
Few of those phones will be able to achieve T-Mobile’s full “4G” speeds, though, because the phones’ own modems aren’t fast enough. T-Mobile’s network runs at HSPA+ 42, but the iPhone plugs along at a relatively sedate HSPA 14.4. I’d expect 2-4Mbps download speeds on an iPhone, as compared to around 8Mbps on an HSPA+ 42 phone like the HTC One S.
T-Mobile still isn’t selling subsidized iPhones, but the entry of Cricket and Virgin Mobile into the iPhone world may start to convince Americans that it’s worth paying more up front for much lower plan prices.
