Apple WWDC 2012: all the stories
WWDC 2012 – MacBook and Mac Pro hardware refresh
The Mac range was dragged into the next generation too with the MacBook Air line and MacBook Pros all getting Intel Ivy Bridge next generation processors.
But there was no mention of the 17in MacBook Pro – the big daddy of the line has been discontinued. Perhaps the steadfast efforts of Ultrabooks have pushed Apple to compete on that playing field with more strict rules for portability.
Sneaking out without a mention in the keynote was a refreshed version of the Mac Pro, getting the new Intel treatment in a 12-core i7 packing tower that can manage up to a staggering 64GB of RAM.
WWDC 2012 – Accessories
Apple slipped a couple of new accessories in under the radar, launching a new iPad Smart Case that provides all-round protection for your slate. Also launching at WWDC were new Thunderbolt accessories in the form of a Thunderbolt to Firewire 700 adaptor, and a Firewire to Ethernet adaptor.

Shocking WWDC, nothing to get excited about. iOS 6 looks average at best.
If this the best Apple has got, Steve must wishing he'd picked a better successor to the Apple throne.
Can't believe they are letting Samsung run away with the phone market at the moment, waiting until September/October for the new iPhone is a massive mistake.
Please Apple bring out the quad core phone and make it NFC compatible.
No wonder Apple shares took a tumble on the stock market!!!!
