February 09, 2010 – Apple Store is Down for Updates. February 9, 2010

Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Snow Leopard, Tech , add a comment

Update: Apple introduces Aperture 3

It’s 4:00 AM and I’m still awake, don’t know why.

Anyway, Apple Store is down for updates. I bet they’re going to add the fabled 16-core MacBook Pro today…errr…that doesn’t really exist. I’m really hoping a Quad-Core MacBook Pro.

Based on the circulating rumors, Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro is coming really soon.

Now, if only I could get that one company the salary they owe me, I could immediately buy the 16-core MacBook Pro.

Don’t be fooled with the version number embedded in the app itself. It might say version 1.21.1 and the iTunes App Store says version 1.3. All that matters is it is iPhone OS 3.0 compatible now.

UPDATE:

As we have reported before, iPhone OS 3.0 Beta carries an expiration date. For those who has iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 3 still on their phone might have some purple shock today. As the software hits the expiration date, the iPhone displays purple screen with instructions to connect to iTunes. When connected, iTunes warned that the software has expired and must be updated to the newer version. In this state, the iPhone is rendered useless except for emergency calls. The most current version is iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 as of May 9th, 2009. Based on the expiration date of previous builds, iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 will expire on June 1st, 2009.
