Set to launch this coming Friday, April 10th, the new 12-inch Retina MacBook was announced during the recent Spring Forward event at which Apple also released more details about the Apple Watch.

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.
