This iPhone will still have the Apple Retina Display. Also with this release of the iPhone there will most likely be a more affordable version of the iPhone, maybe a iPhone mini or a pay-as-you go iPhone! Also many sources say that Apple is defiantly working on two versions of the next generation iPhone. We will just have to wait and see.As you can see Apple has came a long way since the original iPhone they release in January 7th, 2007.

MacBook (Original Unibody)
The original white unibody MacBook is also not for sale anymore. We can assume Apple’s thought was to have people purchase the low end MacBook Air instead, which does feature better specs then the MacBook (white) did.
OS X Lion is here.
After so many weeks of waiting, Apple’s new operating system, OS X Lion is finally here.
According to Apple there are over 250 new features including Multi-Touch gestures, Mission Control, full-screen apps, and Launchpad.
“The world’s most advanced desktop operating system advances even further.”
If you haven’t upgraded to OS X Lion yet, here’s how:
- Open Mac App Store, from icon on dock (Snow Leopard)
- find ‘OS X Lion’ by searching or looking in the productivity category. Or, click this link, http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?path=mac%2fosxlion
- Click buy & install (buy for $29.99)
Here are some key features to note:
Multi-touch Gestures. New gestures are here to enhance the use of trackpads and also make using your Mac a little more productive.
Full screen apps. A system-wide feature. You can now full screen any app you are working in. It is also very easy to switch between them.
Mission Control, Bringing together full-screen apps, Dashboard, Expose, and Space into one new feature that gives you a bird’s eye view of everything going on and running.
Launchpad. This feature gives you instant access to all the apps on your Mac. It is similar to iOS home screen menu.
Resume. This feature resumes your work for you. If you need to do updates, restart your Mac, close apps, whenever you start back up again, everything will be just as your left it. No need to save.
Auto Save. It’s time to stop worrying about loosing your documents. Auto Save saves your work as you do it. Not every 5 minutes. Not every one minute. It’s saving as you type.
Versions, allows you to go back to older version of a saved document. It work’s like OS X’s Time Machine.
AirDrop. Share files between Macs easily by dropping the file on the picture and name of your other Mac.
Mail. A new version of mail that put’s your e-mail into a gorgeous wide screen display view. This is laid out similar to iOS Mail.

Time For New Hardware? My Apple Predictions for June 15th 2011
I wanted to quickly give my thoughts and predictions on Apple and what I think might be released or announced tomorrow, June 15th 2011.
Firstly, Apple’s MacBook Air. There is a lot of talk about this and I think it is about time for an upgrade. Here is what I’d like to see in the 3rd generation MacBook Air:
- Higher resolution display
- larger SSD (512gb +)
- backlit keyboard
- upgraded processor (i3, i5)
- option to upgrade to 6GB or 8GB of RAM
- one or two Thunderbolt ports.
I don’t think all of this is a reasonable guess but it is all possible. You never know what to expect with Apple.
One thing to note about the MacBook Air that makes me think they will update before OS X Lion is, in all of Apple’s demo videos of OS X Lion they use not just any MacBook but the MacBook Air. I think the MacBook Air is one of Apple’s favourite computers and the way the future of Macintosh computing might be.
It is said to be exactly one year since the last time the Mac Mini was updated. My thoughts for the Mac Mini are quite similar. More RAM, Thunderbolt, better processor (i3 or i5) etc.
I can’t wait to see what Apple announces. I think tomorrow will be an Apple lover’s lucky day.
iPad 2 – What you need to know
Today, March 2nd 2011, Steve Jobs revealed the lighter, thinner, and faster iPad 2 in person at the Apple Conference in San Francisco. Apple is a growing company and with the news about Jobs, Everyone, including many stock holders were all scared and curious about who might be presenting Apple’s newest product.
Below are some major differences & similarities between the first and second generation iPad
In addition to these changes, the iPad 2 is only 8.5mm thick (that’s thinner then the iPhone 4) compared to the 1st generation which was 13mm thick
The iPad 2 is the same price as the older models originally were. With these new features and upgrades, you couldn’t expect much of a price drop. The iPad 1st generation is still available on the Apple website for about $80 cheaper then it was yesterday.
