During its WWDC 2012, Apple has made a whole lot of very important announcements. It has also unveiled the refreshed lineup of its MacBook notebooks. What was perhaps the most exciting part of the new MacBook models was that there is now a Retina display MacBook Pro available for the users.
Apple has introduced a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter at WWDC 2012 in San Francisco. By using this adapter, you can easily connect to a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet network. This compact adapter provides a RJ-45 port that supports 10/100/1000BASE-T networks. Thunderbolt To Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is now available for $29 at Apple Store.
Apple has introduced a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter at WWDC 2012 in San Francisco. This converter allows users to connect the MagSafe connector on their LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter with MagSafe 2. The converter is now available at Apple Store for $9.99.
Apple has been following the convention of kickstarting its WWDC events with some impressive statistics from the company. And Apple definitely has loads of them, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that Apple chose to mention these stats at the start of WWDC 2012 too.
Apple’s WWDC has kickstarted a while ago and as expected, the company has made some very exciting announcements at the event. Many analysts had earlier speculated that Apple is going to up the ante on its laptops by introducing Retina Display in MacBook Pro. This has turned out to be true. New MacBook Pro have Retina display, together a lot of other awesome features.
Apple’s WWDC 2012 is nearly here and although we are merely hours away from some really important announcements from Apple, the rumors haven’t been put to rest. In fact, the speed with which the rumors are surfacing has only increased. Now, for instance, it is being reported that Apple will drop support for old iOS devices such as iPad 1 in iOS 6.
Apple’s iOS is, without a doubt, an excellent mobile operating system. Apple has been able to make it a hit but the one thing that vexes the developers at large is that Apple’s iOS is a proprietary piece of software. This means that it is not open-source and thus its code can not be explored, or tweaked, by other developers.
It seems that the relationship between two tech giants, Apple and Google, have been deteriorating recently. Specifically, ever since the launch of Android, both are seen somewhat as rivals. And this rivalry is about to get serious as Apple gears up to launch a mapping service of its own for iOS devices. This would be a huge step towards divorcing Google Maps from iOS.
