WWDC 2012 -- June 11-15

[Jay.]

Wooooooooo.

Down goes my credit card balance.

 

[Sym0n]

I'm in love with the new Pro.

 

[Jay.]

I hope they keep revealing its new features. It's getting better and better haha.

 

[Jay.]

Get to the price god dammit.

 

[Revels]

I want one. But it'll be mega money. Mega mega.

£3k.

 

[Jay.]

Less than £2k I reckon.

 

[cava83]

Less than £2k I reckon.

I hope so, if so, sold.

Come on MacPro

 

[Tom]

Less than £2k I reckon.

No way.

 

[Revels]

Less than £2k I reckon.

No chance. The normal 15" is £1900.

This is next level.

 

[Sym0n]

Air has been reduced in price but no chance the MBP will be. Not with this spec.

 

[Sym0n]

BOOM and there it is lol.

"$2199 is the starting price with a 2.3GHz quad-core chip, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage."

 

[Jay.]

$2199 = £1400

So, about £1600 I bet.

 

[cava83]

$2199 = £1400

So, about £1600 I bet.

Let's say another £250 because it's the UK and you get shafted.

£1850

 

[Tom]

Thats with 256GB and 8mb of unupgradable ram

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

So you don't have the option to buy a normal HDD and low RAM so you can upgrade them yourself without being shafted by Apple?

 

[Jay.]

Thats with 256GB and 8mb of unupgradable ram

True, would like to see the costs of a specced up one.

Should find out soon.

Still, base model should be under £2k though

 

[Tom]

So you don't have the option to buy a normal HDD and low RAM so you can upgrade them yourself without being shafted by Apple?

No*.

*HDD deffo, ram we will know later, but an educated guess would say the ram is similar to the air.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ouch! Glad I bought my one earlier then. Cheaper SSD and 8GB RAM FTW!

 

[Jay.]

Up to 16GB of 1600Mhz RAM

From Macrumours feed.

 

[Tom]

Ouch! Glad I bought my one earlier then. Cheaper SSD and 8GB RAM FTW!

Well yeah, but the ram in the MBP - NG is going to be VERY fast if it does without slots.

 

[Mr Pants]

Messages for OS X looks sweeeeeet.

 

[Tom]

Messages for OS X looks sweeeeeet.

Its been out for months? Im using it now.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Searching in the browser bar!! YES!!! Finally!!

 

[Mr Pants]

Its been out for months? Im using it now.

Oh.

I'm still on Snow Leopard.

 

[cava83]

Ethernet via thunderbolt. That will stop you running dual none-apple monitors if you need gig ethernet too. Shame.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Are they releasing anything iOS related today?

 

[Revels]

Are they releasing anything iOS related today?

iOS 6 beta will be out for Devs today. But no products.

 

[jenic]

I like the new MBP.

It ticks everything I want, SSD, thinner, lighter. Shame about the ethernet though.

Not a lot of point in upgrading though, mine's only a year old, and I'm unsure I need retina.

 

[Tom]

Snigger/

 

[seb]

Pics of new MacBook?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I'm sure they keep whacking retina on everything because they can. Retina seems a bit pointless on a MacBook. I can't say I've ever thought that from using mine. Same for the iPad to a certain extent too.

 

[Munson]

No ethernet on MBP f***s me up. But I'll manage.

More is always better though?

 

[Tom]

No ethernet on MBP f**ks me up. But I'll manage.

2x thunderbolt ports.

Thunderbolt to ethernet adaptor already announced. (possibly included?)

 

[Tom]

Im sitting in a puddle of joy over iOS 6

WOW.

 

[eugegall]

Will local search on siri be available in the uk yet?

 

[Tom]

Will local search on siri be available in the uk yet?

No. Not until iOS6

 

[eugegall]

Ok fair enough. When is that expected to be released? Fall with iPhone 5?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

What are the iOS 6 headlines then?

 

[Revels]

What are the iOS 6 headlines then?
