I Left My Old iOS in San Francisco

It's June 11th, the day we have all been waiting for. Apple is expected to reveal a slew of new products at the Worldwide Developers Conference (#WWDC) in San Francisco. For those of us Apple addicts who aren't lucky enough to attend the conference, we can predict, revel, and react from home.

  1. iOS6? OS X Mountain Lion? Retina display screen? Rumors are rampant and tweeps are getting excited about the big day ahead. 
  2. Just a word of advice to any of my followers not interested in Apple or tech. You may want to mute me from 12PM to about 1:30PM #WWDC
  3. Finally, 1:00pm EST and the festivities have begun.
  4. Siri opened Apple conference w/ a comedy routine: "How many developers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. That's a hardware problem."
  5. Tim Cook declares that "...what we do together is much more important than any numbers could reflect. Our goal has always been to do great work, and make a difference in other people's lives." He continues, declaring that there are some heartwarming stories out there thanks to Apple hardware and software: "Let's roll it." 
  6. RT @IanRobinson: Cool. One of the first things in Apple’s WWDC Keynote is a blind man using an iPhone to help navigate. Showing that accessibility is key.
  7. Touching video about how iOS and its devices empower people on the edge of society. Apple is leveraging an angle they should have long ago.
  8. We get it apple, your stuff is heartwarming, on to the cool stuff! #WWDC
  9. Okay Apple, we're completely hooked on your products, message, and foresight. Suspense is building-- show us what's new.
  10. Cook: Today we're announcing exciting new changes in notebook lineup, and OS X and iOS advancements. #wwdc2012 #apple
  11. Tim Cook invites Phil Schiller on stage to talk Notebooks.
  12. New MacBook Pro has high-end core i7, up to 16GB of memory, up to 768GB of flash storage. (via @jonfortt) #WWDC cnb.cx/KnWXgw
  13. Facetime HD, dual microphones. "The best stereo speakers we've ever put into a notebook." #WWDC
  14. My god, 2880x1800 resolution on the new MacBook Pro, insane... absolutely insane. #WWDC
  15. The new MacBook Pro model is 15.4 across and has 5,184,000 pixels, the world's highest resolution notebook display. #WWDC
  16. The new MacBook Pro model has a new asymmetrical fan blades creating sounds at different frequencies so the laptop is quieter...pretty cool.
  17. Redesigning the fan inside the new MBP is the kind of thought that Apple puts into hardware that keeps them ahead of the curve. #wwdcnerds
  18. You may be thinking:
  19. Well,
  20. $2199 for the Retina MBP - same price point as non-retina; still quad-core & 8GB, just replaces 750G HDD w 256G SSD. Old MBP is toast.
  21. Wait… what? 15" MBP and 15" MBP with retina are the same price?!?! #WWDC
  22. Some are impressed by the MBP price considering all the new specs but many are outraged and are now declaring allegiance with the new MacBook Air instead. MPA gets 3rd generation core chips, up to 2GHz dual-core i7, 512 GB Flash storage, 2x read speed and USB 3 (though still, no disc drive). The new MPA unfortunately does not have a Retina screen but we'll gladly take the new price as conciliation.
