The world thinnest smartphone! It is featuring the all new 4 inch Retina display which gives you the resolution of 1136-by-640 pixel at 326 ppi. Which contains 18% more pixel than previous iPhone. It’s going to have 16:9 aspect ratio. That means widescreen movies will take-up the entire screen now.

The new MacBook Pro features a 15.4 inch Retina display the same kind of display you will find on an iPhone 4 or the third generation iPad. If you have experienced the clarity of this display then check this out, with a 2880×1880 resolution the new MacBook has 3 million more pixels than an HDTV! Besides as the display is directly integrated in to the aluminum unibody it reduces weight by eliminating need of a cover glass.

It features the very best Quad core Ivy Bridge processors with up to 2.8 GHz and with turbo boost that can be bumped up to 3.7 GHz. You have available for you memory up to 16 GB at 1600 MHz and a flash storage of up to 768 GB. The flash storage architecture is what allows the MacBook to be 4 times faster and yet consume less space and energy. You can get up to 7 hours of usage time and 30 days of standby time on the new MacBook Pro.

The Pro weighs at 4.46lbs and is 0.71 inches thin which is 25% thinner than the old MacBook Pro. With all that power and so little space Apple has designed a thermal system that keeps your MacBook cool and yet you won’t hear a thing. The blades on the fans integrated in to the MacBook Pro are asymmetrical as opposed to the fans used on any other notebook. This keeps your MacBook cool and makes no sound at all. The components inside are sculpted in a way to allow maximum air flow through them.

As for the Input output devices the MacBook Pro has 2 thunder bolt and 2 USB 3.0 Ports. It also has the usual MagSafe power port, SD slot and an HDMI port. Apple will soon offer a firewire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet to thunderbolt adapters. It also features the best stereo speakers and dual microphones found on any notebook.

At $2199 you can get the base model which has the retina display, 2.3GHz ivy bridge i7 processor, 8GB of Ram, 256 GB of Flash storage and NVidia GeForce GT 650M 1 GB graphics card.

We all have been through times where the hardware always had to play catch up to the software. Apple ushers in a new era where the software needs to be upgraded to match and take advantage of the features the Hardware has to offer. For the Retina display Apple will ship a special build of Mountain Lion with HiDPI support and updated versions of mail, Safari and iPhoto. Final Cut Pro and Aperture will also receive updates. Apple will work with Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk AutoCAD, Diablo 3 and many other developers to update their Apps to work with the retina display.

The New Generation MacBook Pro has Arrived and can be yours for $2199.

Siri will bring along all of its features that are found on iPhone 4s since it was introduced in September last year. You can use Siri for music playback, calendar, reminders, weather, maps, notes, iMessaging, searching contacts and Safari.

Unlike the iPhone 4s Siri for iPad will not take advantage of the larger 9.7 inch iPad display. Like on the iPhone 4s Siri will be activated by pressing the home button either from the lock screen or any other screen. The interface will slide up from the bottom of the screen and will have rounded corners. It will pop up as a small window over any page that you might be using on your iPad which will be visible yet shaded out in to the background. The interface will be positioned at the bottom center and will occupy very little space on the screen. The Siri interface will feature the same linen texture skin as found on the iPhone 4s.

There have been speculations about whether Siri would receive commands accurately as unlike the iPhone the iPad is usually held at a distance. Some observers claim that this could lead to issues as the microphone might not pick up your commands leading to errors in results. However this is not true and will remain mere speculations as the voice dictation works well for the third generation iPad.
There have been reports that Apple has been testing Siri for iOS 6 concepts both on the third generation as well as the second generation iPad. However some say that Siri for iPad will be launched exclusively for the third generation retina display iPad as opposed to covering the entire family of iPads. For those who have been questioning Apple’s logic behind launching Siri exclusively for iPhone 4s and not for iPhone 4, it was done to address scalability. Siri depends on Apple servers, by launching Siri exclusively for iPhone 4s Apple ensured that the usage would grow at scalable rate which could be handled.

It is unclear if Apple will introduce Siri for iPad along with iOS 6 at the WWDC in June or will save the announcement to make final changes and launch it along with the next generation iPhone.

iPad Users to talk to Siri with the new iOS 6 update.

iCloud tabs takes the concept of tabs to a whole new level it is like bringing the best of both iCloud and tabs both popular with users by now. iCloud users will be able to access a whole list of tabs on their safari browsers which are opened across different iOS devices. It does not actively sync your current browser across all your devices connected to the cloud. When the iCloud tabs button is clicked on a Mac or iOS 6 concept devices all of the tabs open are synchronized and presented as a list.

This allows you to quickly pick a tab that you were working on in a different iOS device and use it. The button will be concealed behind the bookmarks toolbar on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Mail VIPs is another feature from Mountain Lion which will now feature on the iOS 6. How many times have you found yourself scouring through your mailbox trying to find emails from people at work or your inner circle of friends? The Mail VIPs feature allows you to star mails received from this group. VIPs assigned to iCloud accounts will sync across all your iOS devices thus you will always receive the emails sent from this special group of people.

This bring us to the third and final feature which is the Do not Disturb toggle. The Do Not Disturb toggle can be found on the Mountain Lion and when it was first revealed many people thought it was just a minor addition. However people who have used it find it very productive as it gives you the ability to conveniently turn off notifications. Though you will find this feature under the Mountain Lion notification center on iOS devices it will be integrated a lot like the airplane mode toggle switch. This allows easy access to the feature when required.

iOS 6 is expected to make an appearance on your nearest iOS device sometime this fall and will feature the much awaited in house developed mapping application from Apple. The new software is set to be launched along with the revamped iPhone which will have both internal and external upgrades.

iOS 6 to feature OS X Mountain Lion features: iCloud Tabs, Mail VIPs and DND toggle.

Did you hear the Mountain Lion roar? Yes you heard me right probably the most awaited OS from Apple the Mountain Lion was introduced in its complete form, at least to the developers present. There had been a lot of buzz and speculation ever since the Mountain Lion was announced. You can now get your hands on the latest Apple OS for just $19.99 and it will ship in July. If you purchase any Mac you are sorted as you will receive your Mac preloaded with the all new OS X Mountain Lion. Apple first previewed the Mountain Lion in February with many features which you can find on the iOS including reminders, notes, notification center, game center and much more. You probably read something about the features the mountain lion is expected to bring with it here on our iOS 6 blog, now is the time to take a look at them.

Executives at the WWDC gave a preview of features such as dictation, power nap and iCloud Tabs. Besides this the OS X Mountain Lion will bring 200 brand new features. The dictation feature will be incorporated throughout the operating system which means you can use it to enter text wherever it might be required. Makes you wonder if Apple hopes to get us hooked to voice controls after touchscreens. We here at the iOS 6 concept blog expected dictation to be integrated after we heard of resource files for Safari which pointed to dictation features.

iCloud Tabs was also demoed and is a brand new feature for safari on Macs. With iCloud tabs you can see all of the tabs open on all your iOS devices and do not need to move from one device to the other. All you need to do is login to the same iCloud account on all your devices. Safari now features a unified search and address bar, thus you no longer need or will see the small search bar on the right side of the screen.

Power Nap is an innovative new feature which had all those present excited. With almost all laptops when you close the lid they will either hibernate or go in to standby mode. With the new Power Nap feature your MacBook will update itself and download all your emails while it is being charged or in sleep mode. If you own a time machine it will back up all your files automatically which means your MacBook is hard at work trying to make your digital life easy even when you think it’s asleep.

The beauty of this feature is that all this happens without making any sound using the SSD on your MacBook. However for the moment power nap will only be available for new generation of Macs and MacBook Airs which feature a Solid State Drive which might disappoint a few enthusiasts.

Dictation, Power Nap and iCloud Tabs to feature on OS X Mountain Lion, Grab it for just $19.99

In iOS 6 Siri will give you live Sports scores and schedules, not just find a restaurant nearby but also use OpenTable to make a reservation for you. It will launch Apps and will speak your language if you speak Spanish, Italian or French.

As we revealed here on our iOS 6 blog Facebook will see a system wide integration like twitter. You can post updates to your Facebook wall from within apps or anywhere within iOS 6. Contacts will also be updated automatically using the information available on the Facebook.

With the new Do Not Disturb function you can schedule when notifications should not make any sound or visual alerts. For instance when you are sleeping you can make sure that your iPhone does not wake you up unless it is an urgent call where the caller calls you more than 3 times or allow calls from people on your VIP list to alert you. You can also set reminders to remind you later and it will create a Geo Fence which will remind you as soon as you leave a building.

Shared photo streams will allow you to choose which photos you wish to share with family and friends. Shared photos can be viewed on iOS devices, Mac or through Apple TV.

You read it first on our blog that the iOS 6 will feature Apple’s own Map App. This will be integrated with Siri to allow turn by turn navigation, 3D maps and integration with Yelp for business listings. It will also use crowd sourced anonymous GPS information to give you up to date traffic information.

Passbook is a new wallet app that will allow you to use electronic tickets and payment cards. You will no longer need to carry your ticket with you in physical form. Airline Boarding passes and sport event tickets will be available on your iOS device. You can also purchase movie tickets through Fandango and redeem it through Passbook.

A Beta version of iOS 6 is already available to developers. The new iOS 6 will be available for iPhone 3GS and later, second generation iPad and fourth Generation iPod touch and later.

iOS 6 set for fall release with Improvements to SIRI, New Map Apps and Passbook.

The inclusion of Facebook however does not mean that Twitter will be left out. Twitter will be as much a part of iOS 6 as Facebook will be. The company will hold session at the WWDC event to reveal more about the partnership as well as the integration in the forthcoming OS X Mountain Lion. Mark Zuckerberg thought of Steve Jobs as a teacher and asked for advice from Steve on various subjects.

The integration of Facebook will be very important for Apple due to Facebook Connect a feature which allows Facebook users to use their Facebook ID and Password as a universal identification on tons of apps as well as websites. Apple is undoubtedly aware of the huge user base that Facebook has and decided that it was time to bring them on board.

Apparently Apple and Facebook are still trying to figure out how things will be shared on Facebook as it has various levels of permissions as a privacy and safety feature. Apple has been known to change its mind however things seem all set to the integration and introduction of Facebook as a part of iOS 6 concept at the WWDC.

iOS 6 to put a smile on the face of Facebook users.

A new mapping app will run on the iPad and iPhone which will be part of the new mobile operating system platform presumably named iOS 6. Armed with its very own mapping solution Apple will aim to encourage developers to embed its map within social media and search apps.

Apple bought a number of mapping companies including C3 technologies which specializes in 3D mapping. This was a step towards reducing its reliance on Google which was made obvious by its acquisitions and filling up job postings. You already read on out iOS 6 blog earlier how Apple had moved its mapping services in house and was using GPS data generated by its users to create a crowd sourced traffic database.
Earlier this year Apple launched the iPhoto for iOS application devoid of Google maps. Instead it used OpenStreetMap and other services for creating map tiles.
