Liveblog: Thinner MacBook Pro, IOS 6 At Apple's WWDC 2012

11:53 Hope you had as sufficient fun as you did!

11:53 Cook wishes everybody a great week, and the most appropriate discussion ever. And that's it for today's WWDC keynote announcements, as The Black Keys beginning blasting.

11:52 Cook says the apps you emanate can, fundamentally, change the world. "And I can't regard of a improved reason, of getting up in the morning."

11:51 "Only Apple could make such extraordinary hardware, program and services. We are so unapproachable of these products," Cook says. "They're perfect examples of what Apple does best, and ultimately, it's because people select to work for Apple, and with Apple - to do the really most appropriate work of their lives… To make a disparity in the lives of so many people around the world."

11:51 If there's a "One More Thing," I regard my hands are going to drop off!

11:50 Back to Tim as the lights way up in the auditorium. "What do you think?" Tim Cook asks. The answer? Enthusiastic clapping and cheers. We're going back over all the new announcements you schooled today.

11:50 iOS 6 will liner this fall, encouragement the iPhone 3GS and later, the 2nd and 3rd gen iPad, and the iPod touch. No initial era iPad support.

11:49 Apple is giving out a beta of iOS 6 to developers today.

11:48 For movement apps, Apple satisfied the most appropriate ones are forthcoming from Apple developers, so Apple will integrate, underline and publicize your movement app correct from inside of the Maps app in iOS 6. This is an engaging approach.

11:48 There's all sorts of new APIs, so developers can take value of Reminders and Passbook, for example.

11:48 Another new feature: Lost Mode. You can send a phone number to your phone, similar to your home or spouse's number, and if someone finds it, they can call that number back and you can collect your phone. (Yeah, that's if the finder isn't seeking to sell it on Ebay).

11:47 "A brand new mapping answer from the belligerent up in iOS 6. These are only 10 of the over two hundred new features in iOS 6," Forstall says as he wraps up this part of the presentation. iTunes and the App Store have been redesigned to make the experience more fluid, he says. They've updated not similar signatures in Mail.

11:45 You can click general outlook to wizz out at any time, or vessel around. Tap to resume. The alignment on shade is the same as your actual orientation, so there's no getting mislaid with North, South, rights, or lefts.

11:45 Turn by spin navigation seems more utilitarian though, and we're getting a demo of that now. When turns are shut together, both signs are put up so you do not skip the second one. The footprint of the onscreen buildings is accurate.

11:44 You can change the camera point of view in Flyover. Now, we're checking out the Sydney Opera House. It looks overwhelming for checking out world landmarks, and could be utilitarian in navigating to a place in a large city.

11:43 You can wizz in and out, obtain an info card on a place similar to the MOMA, and wizz in on 3D maps to see what the office building looks similar to in a 3D model. The buildings are a dim tan, the roadways are a lighter tan. Parks are a grassy light green. You can also switch to a heavenly body view. And now, a demo of flyover over the Transamerica Pyramid - a well-spoken passing from one to another from an over the tip view, to an angled, 360-degree side view so you can see every side of the building.

11:42 The new Maps app looks great. It has a new underline called Flyover - Apple has been drifting over leading civil areas and office building up a 3D detailed model of these places. It looks great on the iPhone and iPad's Retina displays.

11:41 When you find a place you wish to go, click rapid route, and as you're going, the app monitors the traffic, gives you your ETA (which updates in real time and can give swap faster routes when available). This functions from the lock shade as well, so you do not must be go to the Maps app to see it. It's also integrated with Siri, so if you inquire Siri to take you somewhere, you're on your way. You can also inquire questions along your route, similar to "Where are the nearest gas stations?" and "Are you there yet?" Siri responds to that, too.

11:39 Part of Maps is local search. Apple has ingested over 100 Million business listings for local search. There's Yelp integration, too. Apple is also office building a traffic service so you can see where accidents or slow traffic is, with accidents overlaid on the roads. Apple is using unknown real-time throng sourced traffic information from iOS users to keep this information up to date (uh oh, look out Waze). Apple is also integrating turn-by-turn navigation.

11:38 And now, Maps. The symbol has been

11:38 This goes over autism even though - schools that have adopted iPads can use this for tests, vouchsafing the lecturer lock the iPad so the tyro can't go look up the answers in Safari. This is also great for museums who use the iPad for tours. That's Guided Access.

11:36 Next, an app called Guided Access. Apple tries to make available gadgets for all of its customers, Forstall says. We've been astounded by the number of young kids with autism that have been flocking to our devices. There are a lot of apps written especially for young kids with autism. Guided access allows you to round other onscreen controls and turn off them, so a youngster can use the app without attack those other controls. The home button is also disabled, so autistic young kids can pick up exclusively on their iPad.

11:36 When you obtain to one of the locations you have cards for, similar to Starbucks, you obtain a presentation that it's within reach so you can use it. If you're flight gets delayed, your boarding pass gets

11:34 You can collect tickets for Fandango, Giants games, Starbucks - it shows the change on the Starbucks card. A store card is to Apple Store, boarding passes for Amtrack, United Airlines - if there are multi-part tickets, they're grouped together. A banking for Target. When you undo a card, it's shredded onscreen. Haha, really intelligent Apple.

11:33 Now a new app called Passbook. The simplest way to obtain all of your passes in one place. Tickets, boarding passes… Think United Airlines, Starbucks, and film sheet apps. These are great, but you have to stumble around to find the app, then the sheet inside of the app. Passbook combines these together in one place and integrates it correct in to the OS - Fandango film tickets, for example. It also integrates with the lock screen, so when you obtain to the film theater, a presentation is to pass pops up on the lock screen. This is welcomed with a lot of applause. Demo time!

11:31 Mail enhancements: VIPs. You can spot someone as a VIP, that lets you obtain a presentation correct on the lock shade as shortly as they email you. They have a star next to their name, and their messages be present in a celebrity letter box. There's also a Flagged letter box that has been updated to Mail. You can also increase photos and video simply correct from the constitute window, and you can open password-protected Office docs correct on your iOS device. You can also lift to modernise your messages.

11:30 Shared Photo streams go to your Mac with iPhoto and Aperture, and may be noticed in a web browser on Windows, and may be noticed on a TV with Apple TV. That's Photo Stream.

11:30 Also adding full shade encouragement in landscape to take value of the Retina Display (in Safari). And now, Photo Stream, a giveaway iCloud underline to obtain photos on all of your iOS and Mac devices. In iOS 6, common Photo Streams are being added. Shared Photo Streams let you share photos with your friends. Choose photos you wish to share, select the friends you wish to share them with, and that's it. They obtain a push presentation with the photos, the photos be present in an manuscript in the Photos app, and you can all criticism on the photos.

11:29 Smart app banners are also being updated to Safari. If someone goes to your website, Safari can put up a ensign display them that you've got an app in the App Store you can download. Tapping the ensign takes you true to the app in the App Store. The website can even discuss it the app what the person was carrying out so they can pick up in the app correct where they left off.

11:28 Next up, Safari, the most renouned web browser on the planet. iCloud Tabs, that was referred to earlier, is being updated to Safari. Offline getting more information list is also being added. iOS 5 updated getting more information lists, so you can save stories to read later. Now when you increase it, it'll download and cache the story so you can read it after that even if you do not have internet connectivity. You can also upload photos correct from Safari to your preferred websites.

11:27 Also, they're unifying your phone number and your Apple ID, so if someone calls you on your phone number with a FaceTime call, you can answer on your iPad or Mac. They're carrying out the same thing with iMessage - you can take and respond on iPad or Mac as well.

11:27 Now, FaceTime, Apple's video conferencing service that now only functions over WiFi. Now, FaceTime will be available over mobile networks.

11:25 If someone really wants to obtain a grip of you and calls you back inside of 3 minutes, you can set it so the second call will advance by - great in the box of an actual emergency.

11:25 Next up, Do Not Disturb, a sufficient requested underline of iOS 6 for those of us who've been woken up by neglected texts or calls in the center of the night, for example. Do Not Disturb binds those messages, so your phone doesn't light up or anything when they arrive. You also obtain excellent pellet manage over what phone calls you receive: No phone calls at all, or only from your favorites, or a organisation you emanate from your contacts lists.

11:24 Next, enhancements to the Phone app. In iOS 6, there's a new manage of the correct palm side of the incoming call that gives you two new options: respond with a message, or remind me later, if you're not able to to take the call correct then. If you select respond with message, daub a button to send one of 3 preset messages, or a law one. Remind me after that will remind you in an hour, when you leave, when you obtain home, or when you obtain to work, depending on that button you select.

11:23 But you didn't end there, Forstall says. It's also integrated with the App Store so you can similar to apps and see what apps your friends like. You can do this with iTunes Store too, for music, TV shows and movies. Facebook events and birthdays will also be updated to your calendars. I believe contacts will also be updated to your residence book.

11:22 And it's integrated with Notification Center. Twitter has also been updated correct in to Notification Center. Facebook is also integrated with Siri. This low formation is a open API, so App Store apps can confederate with Facebook.

11:22 Next: Facebook integration! Apple has been using Facebook on this. You only record in, and you can simply post to Facebook from many apps - from Photos, Safari, Maps, your own app. You can speak about movies, TV shows, from the iTunes Store, speak strike from the Game Center.

11:21 Local hunting is going universal too, formerly it was US only. And is to initial time, Siri is going over thd iPhone 4S and is forthcoming to the new iPad.

11:20 Siri is also going international. In iOS 6, English and French for Canada (eh? Forstall says to chuckles) and Spanish for Spain, Mexico, and the US. They're also adding Italian. For Switzerland, Italian, French and German. Also adding Korean, and not similar dialects of Mandarin and Cantonese.

11:18 Now, Apple is using automobile manufacturers to confederate a button on the steering wheel so you can run Siri. You can keep your eyes on the thoroughfare and run Siri. Over 9 automobile manufacturers have affianced to this formation inside of the next 12 months, inclusive BMC GM, Land Rover, MErcedes, Audi, and Toyota.

11:18 These are only a couple of of the things Siri has schooled in iOS 6, Forstall says. You can also twitter from Siri and attend to notifications. There's also a new thing called "Eyes Free." We've listened of hands free, so you can keep your hands on the steering wheel and still run a phone.

11:17 You can also inquire questions about directors or actors - "Show me cinema starring Scarlett Johansson." Siri can also launch apps. If you have hundreds of apps on your phone, this will be really convenient. Forstall says "Play Temple Run," and the app loads up, only similar to that.

11:16 Siri also has become a film buff, Forstall says. You can ask, "What cinema are personification at the Metreon?" Siri says she found 8 cinema personification at the Metreon. You can select one, obtain sum similar to the titled, ratings, reviews, and print images, powered by Rotten Tomatoes. You can also watch a trailer all from inside Siri. We're seeking at a trailer is to Avengers, that I still haven't seen yet. Was it good?

11:15 Siri has also schooled a lot more about restaurants. He asks, "Find a great place for dinner," and she comes up with 15 restaurants nearby, sorted by rating. You obtain more information, median cost of menu items, the sort of restaurant. You can pick a grill to obtain more information and see reviews from inside of Siri. This is powered by Yelp. Apple has also partnered with OpenTable so you can make fears super easily. It takes you to the OpenTable app to make reservations.

11:15 Forstall asks when the 49ers' initial diversion of the period is - it's 9.9 at 1:15 pm.

11:14 You can also inquire about National League standings. Siri knows about ball and basketball. You can inquire "Who's taller, Lebron or Koby?" Siri says "LeBron James appears to be somewhat taller." He's 6'8, Kobe is 6'6.

11:13 Siri's been out for 8 months. And in that time, she's been learning all about sports. You can inquire her "What was the measure of the final Giants game," and she tells you the final measure - "The Giants were downed by the Rangers yesterday; the final measure was 5 to 0." You can also inquire about particular players - "What is Buster Posey's batting average?" The answer is .290.

11:12 This year, Forstall is announcing iOS 6. The symbol has a dulcet white 6 on a blue background. It's starting with enhancements to Siri (it's about time!).

11:11 Now Game Center. There are over 130 million people using it, submitting 5 billion scores any week, and 67 of the tip 100 games confederate with Game Center. More than 75 percent of customers said they were really satisfied with iOS, compared to beneath 50% is to contest - Android.

11:11 Twitter: They've seen 3x the grown given it was integrated in iOS 5. They've sent over 10 billion tweets from iOS 5 and scarcely half of all photos common with Twitter's photo pity service comes from iOS 5.

11:10 A roundup of iOS features: 84 of the tip 100 amicable apps are pulling notifications, we're sending 7 billion push notifications per day, Forstall says. And more than 1.5 trillion push notifications have been sent already. With iMessage, there are over 140 million users, sending over 150 billion messages - more than 1 billion messages per day.

11:09 "Let's speak about iOS," Forstall says. "I find it astounding that we've already sole more than 365 million iOS gadgets by the end of March." And more than 80% of the setup bottom are running the ultimate chronicle of iOS, iOS 5. Oh boy, here comes the Android jab. Ouch, over 75% of Android gadgets still run 2.3. Only 7% of Android customers are running the ultimate chronicle 4.0.

11:08 That's Mountain Lion. Now onto iOS with Scott Forstall.

11:07 There are over 1700 new APIs for Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion will be available to customers around the Mac App Store starting next month. And the price: Merely $19.99. The cost will refurbish all of your personal Macs. WWDC devs obtain access to a near final developer preview today.

11:05 In add-on to these leading features to Mountain Lion, there are over 200 other features, similar to Gatekeeper, an offline getting more information list, Launchpad search, letter VIPs, and features for China, that Federighi is highlighting for a moment. They'll be providing a new Chinese dictionary, 8 new fonts, encouragement for Baidu as an elective hunting provider. They're also creation it easy to set up with Chinese email services.

11:04 CSR Racing is the diversion they'll be playing. It was originally an iOS title, but it'll be available for iOS and Mac this summer. The race begins! They're streaming it over AirPlay. Looks fun, I admire racing games. Federighi loses to The Stig, I mean, Mr. X.

11:04 He's going to bring a buddy up on stage, THE STIG! It's The Stig! To fool around a racing game. His name is Mr. X, but you know it's The Stig.

11:03 On Airplay you can do anything you'd routinely do on your Mac, similar to go to Game Center. Federighi's name is "Hair Force One," that garners a lot of lulz from the crowd.

11:02 Finally, Game Center. The Mac App Store has non-stop up a rebirth of gaming on the Mac, Federighi says. Now you can follow achievements, games, and more (iOS and OS X) with Game Center on the Mac. It supports Mac to Mac and cranky stage iOS to Mac games by AirPlay. Now we're saying a demo of AirPlay and Game Center.

11:01 Airplay Mirroring is up next. It's the easiest way to obtain what's on your Mac onto a projector or television, Federighi says. You can counterpart calm up to 1080p resolution. It's great is to classroom, meeting room, living room. It also supports sending audio to AirPlay-enabled speakers. That's Airplay.

11:00 With Power Nap, it keeps your Mac up to date whilst it sleeps, attractive your email, gripping follow of monthly calendar and follow-up updates, and fetches your photo stream. It'll also back itself up to your Time Capsule, and download App Store and network updates automatically. This sounds similar to a great underline to prevent those annoying viruses and trojans from infecting thousands or millions of Macs.

10:59 Now a new technology in OS X called Power Nap. I similar to it already.

10:59 If you wish to twitter at any time, go in to Notification Center, serve a Tweet Sheet, and heck, even use dictation to come in a tweet. Federighi says "Having a great time display off Mountain Lion at WWDC" and there it is.

10:57 When you're in a full-screen app, the presentation shows up on tip of the shade you're on, and then leaves. You can swipe to obtain at your notifications from the side of your trackpad, and then switch out to the Messages app, for example.

10:56 Looks similar to an easy way to crop by all your open tabs. Sounds similar to a stoke of luck for us tab hogs.

10:56 Scrolling is well-spoken and lightning fast, Federighi says of the Safari browser. Lion has a underline that lets you use Multitouch gestures to wizz in on a web page. In Mountain Lion, if you wizz even further out, you're pulled to the tab view, that gives you a live view opposite all of your tabs. You can use Multitouch gestures to corkscrew by them.

10:55 Tab View is another new feature. It lets you use gestures to visually navigate your tabs. Now a demo.

10:54 Now onto Safari. It has a new unified chic hunting field, similar to in Google Chrome. Finally! It'll offer hunting suggestions, and look by your bookmarks and browsing history. Now, Safari has iCloud Tabs. If you click the Cloud button, you can look at all the pages you have open opposite all of your devices, inclusive mobile devices.

10:54 Support for sharing, similar to by Twitter, is built in to the OS. Looks similar to no Facebook formation in Mountain Lion.

10:53 Sharing: In Mountain Lion, you can share from inside of an app using the share button. It shows all of your pity options in a drop down menu, click an option, and with a deafening alarm sound (wow that was loud), it's sent away.

10:52 Now Dictation, Apple is bringing dictation to the Mac. Everywhere you can type, you can now talk. It's built in to the system. You can speak in to a web page, or third celebration applications similar to Microsoft Word, he says.

10:51 Next, Notification Center. It's formed on a network of banners and alerts. Banners slip down from the tip of the shade in the correct palm corner. Ignore them, and they slip out of the way. A two finger swipe from the side of the trackpad will bring them back up. When you're done, slip it on back. Alerts advance in the same way, but stay around until you categorically boot them. Notification Center lets you at the moment overpower all these notifications and alerts.

10:50 Now we're seeking at a print being combined in Pages. It's available on possibly the Mac or the phone, you can view and amend such a report in both places. The other device will refurbish automatically when a change is made.

10:49 You can send attachments up to 100 Mb in size, together with HD video, in iMessage.

10:48 You can use Multitouch gestures to page between reminders. You can also obtain place formed notifications. Mountain Lion also has a Notes app, that supports images and links. You can open records in well-defined windows for easy access. But the biggest, Federighi says, is Messages. All of the conversations you have are up to date, so it's easy to respond to or emanate a new review from your phone or Mac.

10:47 And now a rapid demo of iCloud. There's a new desktop picture of a spiraling galaxy. There are new things on the wharf inclusive the Reminders app.

10:47 An app similar to Pages comes up with a report library when you open it, orderly chronologically. These report libraries are available opposite all Macs and iOS devices. That's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, together with Preview and Text Edit.

10:45 Right when you pointer in with your Apple ID, your iCloud syncs your calm opposite all of your devices. Mountain Lion introduced 3 new apps optimized for iCloud: Messages, Reminders and Notes. For report integration, there's Documents in the Cloud.

10:45 Now, they're announcing Mountain Lion. We're seeking at 8 leading new features. First, iCloud.

10:44 This is the 8th leading let go of OS X. There are 66 million Mac users, three times the number of 5 years ago. The ultimate let go was Lion, the initial to be distributed electronically. There have been 26 million copies shipped to date, creation it Apple's most appropriate selling let go ever. 40% of OS X users are running Lion, that was completed in only 9 months. Windows 7 took 27 month to reach that number.

10:43 Next up, OS X with Craig Federighi.

10:43 It's eco-friendly too: Energy Star 5.2, arsenic free, mercury-free glass, and meets a number of other eco standards. It's available today! And that's it is to MacBook lineup announcements.

10:42 Phil Schiller is back up onstage. The next MacBook Pro with Retina display has a 15.4 in. display, 2.3 Ghz quad core i7, weighs 4.46 lbs, and starts at $2199.

10:41 Craig Federighi is now on the video discussing about the new OS X apps similar to Final Cut Pro 10, display how you can view 1080p video in the plan video or river 9 videos at the same time.

10:40 The air blower of the new MacBook Pro has been redesigned, as have the vents, that are part of the constructional network and help the acerbity of the product.

10:39 I could attend to Jony Ive speak all day.

10:38 It's built for impassioned levels of opening but is also exteremely portable, Ive says in the video. They built the layers of the display in to the unibody to remove the need for a well-defined casing glass. There are many pattern innovations the users won't see, Ive says, but they'll experience.

10:37 The new MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports, if that wasn't coherent before.

10:36 Jony Ive is discussing about "starting again" to pattern this product. "When you really must be change things, you open up a entire new world of design," a Bob Mansfield says in the video.

10:35 It's got a potion multitouch trackpad, a backlit keyboard, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a FaceTime HD camera and twin mics. It's got stereo speakers, too. And now, a video display off this beauty.

10:34 Schiller is display a couple of products that can link up by Thunderbolt: a hard drive, a new camera. There's bequest technology too, it may be upheld using a FireWire 800 adapter and gigabit ethernet adapter.

10:34 And the battery life? Up to 7 hours, with 30 days of standby time. Now, a side view to examine out the ports. You've still got an SD slot, now there's an HDMI slot, the USB 2/3 port, and a headphone jack. They've redesigned the MagSafe port to be thinner, too. Also, there's a Thunderbolt port.

10:33 It'll have up to 768 GB of inner spark storage.

10:32 Inside, it's dominated by a battery pack. We're seeking at an inside view of the notebook. They're receiving value of every millimeter of space, he says. Inside, quad-core i7 processors, up to 2.7GHz, with turbo speed up up to 3.7 GHz. You can configure it with up to 16 GB of memory. It'll also have next-gen Kepler architecture graphics from Nvidia.

10:32 "This display creates probable a next era notebook unlike any other," Schiller says. Now onto the insides. We're seeking at a picture of the bottom of the device, that looks aware to current MacBooks.

10:31 Schiller says they've been using key developers to emanate apps for this extraordinary display. Examples: Adobe Photoshop. We're saying a picture of an eye with bluish eye perfume around it. Autodesk is also formulating a new chronicle of AutoCad to emanate a chronicle is to new display. And you can't dont think about games: Diablo 3 is on screen.

10:30 Final Cut Pro 10 has also been

10:28 You've got the same shiny display, but they've marked down glisten and thoughtfulness by up to 75 percent, Schiller says. And Lion has been

10:28 that's 5,184,000 pixels. That's the world's highest fortitude notebook display. I can't wait for to examine this out with my own retinas.

10:28 It's 15.4 inches across, but the pixel firmness is 2880 x 1800. That's 4x the number of pixels from the previous era MacBook Pro display.

10:27 Now the display - it's a new thing in display engineering, he says. It's a Retina display. This means that the pixels on this are so tiny that from a normal working distance, your eyes can't make out those particular pixels.

10:26 The new next era MacBook Pro is 0.71 inches thin. Next to an existing MacBook Pro, the disparity is obvious. It's dramatically thinner. With the MacBook Air next to it, you can see they're about the same thickness. It weighs 4.46 pounds, it's the lightest pro notebook Apple has ever made.

10:26 Schiller binds his finger up to the side of the device, and his finger looks, well, rotund in comparison.

10:25 The next gen MacBook Pro is dominated by a new display. It looks funny thin. Crazy. Thin.

10:25 We're about to see it…

10:24 "What would make the next era MacBook Pro?" Schiller asks. He says it'll have a hired gun new display. An architecture built is to future. Radically gaunt and light. And of course, risky and welcome the newest technologies and peaceful to ditch the aged bequest things.

10:24 The MacBook Air re-envisioned the consumer notebook, Schiller says. Will this be a new notebook for professionals?

10:23 The new MacBook Pros beginning shipping today as well. Faster processors, graphics, memory, store, Flash storage, USB 3.0. "Nobody turns over their entire line as rapidly and entirely as you do at Apple," Schiller says. "So what's next?" Ooh, it's a notebook covered in black fine cloth onscreen.

10:21 The several graphics are getting

10:21 On to the Macbook Pro, the quintessential veteran notebook, Schiller says. It'll get: Ivy Bridge processors, 2.7 GHz quad core i7, turbo speed up up to 3.7 Ghz, up to 8 GB of 1600 Mhz memory, and 60% faster graphics.

10:20 You can obtain the new MacBook Airs starting today, folks.

10:20 For the 13-inch MacBook Air, the display is 1440 x 900 resolution, and it starts at $1199.

10:20 Now Schiller is explaining the not similar specs of the 11-inch MacBook Air. It'll have a 1366 x 768 display, and it starts at $999.

10:19 The port on the MacBook Air is USB 2.0 and 3.0, it's not two well-defined ports. It also has a 720p FaceTime HD camera on the front of the MacBook.

10:18 It's twice as swift as before, too. The I/O is also faster, Apple is adding USB 3.0. There were rumors about that before today's announcement, looks similar to those folks were right!

10:18 The MacBook Air is built entirely around Flash Storage. You can now obtain up to 512 GB of spark storage in the MacBook Air, Schiller says.

10:17 "We're going to refurbish it with a few really great features and updates, similar to Intel's 3rd era core processors, aka Ivy Bride, with up to 2 GHz twin core i7, turbo speed up up to 3.2 GHz, up to 8GB 1600 Mhz mental recall and up to 60% faster graphics." Yowza!

10:17 "Everyone is perplexing to duplicate it," Schiller says. "They find it's not so easy."

10:16 Onscreen are two MacBook Airs and two MacBook Pros. Schiller says he has updates for both lines of MacBooks. First, the MacBook Air, that has revolutionized the thought of the modern notebook, he says.

10:16 Let's obtain correct to it he says, and with that Phil Schiller will be stepping on stage to uncover us the ultimate in the MacBook lineup.

10:15 Cook says the teams at Apple have been hard at work at new innovations. He says today they are announcing new changes in macbook line up, OS X, and iOS.

10:15 Tim Cook is thanking everybody in the developer residents for all of the astounding apps they've created.

10:14 "Thank you for giving me my liberty back," the blind human says at the shut of the video. It does yank at your heart strings.

10:13 Now the video has changed onto a youngster using an iPad app. It's assisting her learn. "Apps have the greatest repercussions on amiability correct now," the writer of Toca Boca, one of the apps shown in the video, says.
