WWDC12 Thread of iOS 6, Mac OS X Mountain Lion and iCloud

now that they're getting rid of the pinstripes and high-gloss from iOS (just like in OSX), i'm hoping they eventually turn their attention to the stock icons and their extreme shine.

The problem probably isn't making panels that size, I don't think. It's getting enough perfect ones that size in a yield that starts to make sense.

I can tell you I'd be pretty pissed off if I bought the 4S and three months later the next version came out. The average consumer doesn't know when the next iteration is coming out, you have to advertise it. Or, you can look at it as anyone waiting this long for the 4S is trying to save money so won't get the 5 anyway. Unless the price didn't drop, in which case it wouldn't matter if they held off for the 5, apple will get the same money regardless.
The only thing that could be construed as an insult was the fanboy comment and it was due to your tone and chose in words. Was it necessary to say only stupid idiots would bring it out a few months in advance? Your tone would suggest that you're the only one upset here. I was simply asking why they didn't reveal the phone at this conference and stating my disappointment that it wasn't.

It still says check back soon on my PC, but it plays fine on my iPad so if you have an iPad you could try that.
I'm still hoping they updated iCloud mail to push mail as read or deleted across all devices and just didnt talk about it in the conference. if anyone who tries the beta and uses iCloud mail could you get back to us on that?
They will announce the phone 2-3 weeks before release. That's the way it's always done.
Announcing months in advance is dangerous. You run the risk of getting stuck with supply of your old product.

Yes. I think a lot people consider RIM stupid idiots. It has nothing to do with any silly brand wars.

So do we know if AirPlay mirroring through apple tv on the MacBooks is gonna be for everything? If so this thing will be an HTPC beast
Also is that a new feature for mountain lion only?

Lol I'm so torn, do I sell my 2011 iMac in order to get the retina display MBP or keep it and just go with an air or 13 inch MBP or Air for school? Gaming performance is actually decent enough for me on the iMac with Diablo 3 so I'm a little hesitant about giving up performance.

I figured it would hit the iTunes Store (They have a video podcast called "Apple Keynotes") first, like it's done in the past, but nope...not yet.

Are the new Macs in retail stores today also?
Sorry if this has been discussed, but is it known whether you can upgrade the RAM and SSD like in prior MBP models?
Hopefully in a few years the stalking will commence

Hey look third parties, thunderbolt accessories don't have to cost an arm and leg.

Not at mine. I went by at lunch and they didn't have any of the new Macs. They also didn't know when they would be getting them.

This is awesome. Thanks.

someone mentioned the RAM is soldered on. if it's like the Air you should be able to upgrade the SSD using specific mini-SATA sticks that cost far higher than those in a traditional 2.5" enclosure.
With the Retina MBP? No, doesn't look like it...at least not easily/cheaply.

How stable is iOS6b1 for those of you running it (specifically on a 4S)? Any glaring bugs so far?

Hmm, just spotted this. Looks like Power Nap will be MacBook Air and the new retina Pro-only:

There are pics in the thread. SSD/RAM are soldered on and either way are in such a compact format it wouldn't really fit with any existing stick format

I'm assuming Siri turn by turn navigation works over cellular right? This is something i've been wanting from Apple for awhile.
Wow ... that blows pretty bad.
Apple's RAM and SSD pricing structure is pretty craptacular. Losing that option is going to piss off some people :\

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how does Apple verify an education discount?
I was curious so I went under an education store on their site, and I have gotten to the checkout point and there is nothing asking for a university ID or anything.
I did log in with my Apple ID that at one time I probably used for an education discount when I was at college, so maybe that's why?

RAM i expected, but are you sure it's not the same mini-SATA as in the Air? i'll have to dig back and take a look. you may be right.
The RAM and HD are definitely soldered on for the Retina MBPs, which makes sense. They only had so much space.
No.

You mean Screen Sharing?
Personally I couldn't do it.
A desktop with a big screen is by far the best option for a primary computer in my opinion.
As great as the new Pro is, it's too small to be my main computer. Just get it for a sweet side kick.
Online? Absolutely nothing.
Instore, they ask for a student ID for proof.
My local apple store said they'll have stock of the retina pros tomorrow morning. Ill be there first thing hopefully picking one up.
If I can't pick one up in stores by friday, Ill just order it online.
holy crap. they added vents to the bottom of the device! FINALLY! i'm actually excited over this. Ives finally realized that a quad core running at 95C at full load might be a sign for better airflow inside the chassis.
this is tipping me even more to upgrading my 2011 15" MBP. i wonder what i can get for it. 8GB of RAM, 120GB SSD, base model. arg. the hassle of selling on Craigslist, though :/
Screen Sharing and AirPlay mirroring are essentially using the same services - a low-level graphic mirror driver to directly get screen updates and video compression. the only difference is that SS doesn't use H264 as far as i remember, while AirPlay uses only that . trying it out over your wifi network at set HDTV resolutions (720p or 1080p) should approximate what you'll see in ML. you can also buy a piece of software (AirServer) for cheap that offers the exact same functionality. as of the last preview i read on Anandtech, Airplay Mirroring was not using any of the Quicksync encoding pipelines, which kinda sucks.

Thinking about picking up a new 13' MBA. I would really like that 256GB hard drive but man, that's quite a price jump for just a 128GB size increase. The money would probably be much better spent on a 64GB USB stick or 2.
Just bought a 15" Retina. My 2008 Macbook has been showing it's age for a long time and I know I wanted a new computer but man, it was still stressful clicking that mouse and throwing Apple all that cash.
$400 bucks off for saying I was in school made it all a little easier though.

You cagey an app called air server that lets you AirPlay to a mac - I have it installed on my mac mini. When mountain lion comes out, you could in theory use that to AirPlay one mac to another.
I use AirPlay to send videos from plex on my iPad to apple tv, but it's not ideal as its using wifi and I can't use the iPad while it's streaming. AirPlay in mountain lion would be cool as then my mac mini could AirPlay from the lounge to my apple TV in the spare room. Possibly using the iPad as a remote control.

Congrats man. Waste of money for AppleCare but other than that its party time!

RAM and flash storage are just like the air. Ram is soldered on the logic board and the flash storage is connected via a msata-like connector.
Air:
How the heck does Apple do it? Even the innards of their products look like works of art.
Well it was 200 off for the MBP and then 100 off Applecare and then a 100 dollar gift card.
