New Apple Announcements
June 8, 2009 — DaylenPhil Schiller just finished with his WWDC keynote, and we have a brief lowdown on what’s new.
A new iPhone. The iPhone 3G S is twice as fast as its predecessor, has a 3 megapixel autofocus camera with VGA video capture, allows for voice control of the phone and iPod, contains a digital compass, and runs iPhone OS 3.0. It comes out on June 17.
New MacBooks. Apple has revamped the MacBook line. The only MacBook is the white polycarbonate one, and it sells for $999. Where did the 13″ aluminum one go? It has been promoted to a MacBook Pro. It features Firewire, a backlit keyboard, an SD card slot, and a 7 hour battery life. And it’s only $1199! The 15″ MacBook Pro also got a SD card slot and 7 hour battery life. It goes for $1699. The 17″ model remains unchanged except for the new lower price tag, which is $2499. The MacBook Air sports a slightly faster processor and is cheaper at $1499.
Safari. Safari 4 dropped the Beta tag today. For those who don’t know, Safari 4 has a new Top Sites page similar to Google Chrome’s New Tab page, Cover Flow, and History search. Apple claims that it is the world’s fastest browser because of its revamped Nitro Javascript engine. It’s available for Windows and Mac OS X.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Scheduled for a release this September, Snow Leopard has refinements to Finder, Exposé, Stacks, Time Machine, Airport, installation, QuickTime, iChat, and Bonjour, among other things. All key applications in Snow Leopard are 64-bit, use Grand Central Dispatch to take advantage of multi-core processors, and support Microsoft Exchange for use in corporate environments.
