During the yesterday’s WWDC event, the one thing that awed everyone was the ultra-powerful MacBook Pro with Retina display, a machine that seems unmatched in the world of notebooks. In fact, the kind of hardware it packed, this MacBook Pro may even put a lot of desktop machines to shame. And that is perhaps why Apple seems less interested in pursuing its desktop lineup.
With the explosive growth of mobile platform, virtually every person tools a mobile device, be that person a professional, an old person or a kid. And due to this, many parents have raised concerns that their kids often then access such content which wastes their time or in anyway is undesirable to be viewable by children. Apple now has a solution to this in the new iOS 6.
Just as we have been expecting all along, Apple has indeed unveiled the fresh iteration of its mobile OS, iOS 6. iOS 6 contains a whole host of new features including the Maps which Apple has been promising for a long time. For now, the beta version of iOS 6 has been made available by the company.
As had been long expected of Apple, the company has finally launched its Maps in iOS 6. The analysts had pegged this move at Apple’s attempt to distance itself from the regular Google Maps and from the excellent features that are a part of Apple’s Maps, it seems that Apple will successfully bag users of Google Maps on iOS.
The WWDC 2012 event has largely been about MacBook notebooks, with Apple introducing some very stunning machines such as the Retina display MacBook Pro. However, an interesting thing is that at the same time, Apple has also upgraded its Mac Pro machines, at least on the website.
