The Days Of Waiting In Line For New Product Launches At Apple Stores Are Over

Ben Reid·April 7, 2015

The Apple Watch try-on sessions will commence from this Friday, with the retail date arriving on April 24th, in just over two weeks' time, and although it's rather early to be casting aspersions, many are suggesting that this product could reach iPhone levels of popularity. Naturally, one might expect queues to form outside Apple Retail Stores in the days and hours leading up to the official launch later this month, but as per a new memo sent out by Apple SVP Angela Ahrendts, those days are long gone.

The Apple Watch is scheduled to go for pre-order later this week, with release slated a fortnight later on April 24th. The way Apple has gone about advertising and preparing for the device's roll out - with a two-week try-on period running at retail stores throughout the pre-order phase - it's clear that the company believes this product could be as big if not bigger than the iPhone was in 2007, and while some commentators have echoed these sentiments, there's plenty of contrasting skepticism. An interesting archive takes us back to the period of the iPhone's launch, and throws up some intriguing, oft hilarious initial reaction to the smartphone that changed everything.

iPad Pro Dummy Model Leak Reveals Multiple Ports, Quite Possibly USB-C [Photos]

Ben Reid·March 31, 2015

Ah, the iPad Pro. It's an enigma that has continued to elude us for many a year, and like Apple's supposed connected TV effort, has yet to materialize. When something is rumored ad infinitum but is scarcely leaked, as is the case with the higher-end iPad Pro, it does draw a fair bit of skepticism, but with the likes of Microsoft and Samsung having come through large-screened slates dripping with power, it seems reasonable that Apple will follow suit at some stage. Here, another dummy leak throws up the rather interesting theory that the device could include a secondary Lighting / USB-C port on the side of the body, which would, ironically, exceed the solitary connection point of the new 12-inch Retina MacBook.
