as we've all eagerly awaited for the new edition to the worlds Most advanced mobile operating system. that's right it's WWDC time!! some of you might not be interested in the new mac book pro lines.
I'm not calling IOS6 the most advanced mobile operating system, it's just what apple are calling it. which is a bit of an over statement. if you consider all the features the other operating systems offers, you wouldn't say that IOS is the most advanced but add that to the factor that IOS is the most elegant and easily usable mobile operating system.
A few stats that apple wanted to brag about for the opening lines of WWDC 2012.
400 million accounts have been signed up with iTunes and that's just on IOS devices.
Overall these 400 million accounts have access to 650,000 apps available on the app store and you've got 225,000 apps that are specifically made for the iPad. all these accounts and all these apps that are available, all together 30 million appls have been downloaded to our iDevices.
I'll just cover the basics of the mac book lines, There's a new mac book air coming out soon for $999 featuring a 2ghz dual core i7 processor, boasting over 8gb of ram, 512gb flash storage and with the power of USB 3.0, you're able to transfer data upto 500 megabytes per second. One of the things that might be disappointing to the new mac book air line that it doesn't feature retina display, it still keep the same pixels per inch as last year's model. 1366x768 for the 11inch display. for the front facing camera you've got a HD 720p capable facetime camera.
For the 13inch display 1440x900 will cost you an extra hundred dollars over the 11inch counterpart.
now i bet you're all wondering why wouldn't apple produce a new macbook pro without a retina display, well they certainly have. The new Macbook pro is going to support a 15inch display with a Massive ppi of 220, that's going to be very very crisp and even text will be the most detailed text you've ever seen. 2880x1800 is the resolution on this whopping monitor. now i know what you're thinking what specification will be powering this incredible display well it's going to be a 2.3 ghz quad core processor, 8gb of ram, configuable upto 16gb. so what's going to be the Space that you've got to contain all of the information, 256gb SSD solid state drive and this actually can't be removed or replaced so you're stuck with it unles you upgrade it to a high capacity. with all this memory at your fingertips you'll probably need a high transfer rate so you're not waiting around for items to be travelled across from one machine to another well you've got 2 thunderbolts ports which is way way higher than USB 3.0, thunderbolt supports upto 1gb per second transfer data and USB 3.0 only supports upto 500mb per second.
only 40% of users actually use lion which is quite surprising because the people that i know that are upgraded to it's newest version. i'm not going to talk about the new editions of mountain lion because yo probably already know about them. for the developer preview and when the actual New mac OSx comes out it will cost you 19.99.
One magnificent stat was given by tim cook and he said that over 1.5 trillion push notifications have been sent to our iDevices. granted that most of these notifications are sent from facebook and twitter but still that's amazing.
I think they called it the most advanced OS in the world as every other OS is very fragmented and gives you different features depending what phone you buy. It doesn't have the most features (mainly gimmicky the ones it leaves out) but they all appear more uniform in design and seamless integration. The inside of the retina MacBook pro looks bettet than the outside of most other laptops :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was the aim for ice cream sandwich for people to come away from the fragmented mentiality that was android. Most of android phones are running gingerbread
