Apple Rumours: MacBook Pro goes on diet, loses optical drive to get slimmer – Part 2

The MacBook Pro is also expected to have the astonishing Retina Display resolution. Though this is not a biggie for Apple anymore, but for users it will bring a new experience of paper-like text view and extremely sharp video quality especially in games.

The new MacBook Pro will embrace the latest Ivy Bridge processors from Intel and the chipset is also touted to be brand new from Intel. The new Core i7 quad-core processor of the high-end laptop is said to have a clock speed of 2.7 GHz.

The iMac has also been covered by the rumour initiator. According to it, the new all-in-one desktop from Apple will have the new Ivy Bridge processor as well, only this time it will be clocked at a massive 3.4 GHz.

Moreover, iCloud is getting updates too. The clouding service from Apple is expected to get an upgrade in the sharing modules. We have already seen some updates and fixes to iCloud in the iOS 5.1.1 update last week. However, the new update will revamp the PhotoStream app on Apple devices and will allow multiple users to access the albums. The updates will also allow the app to share videos, the source suggested.

Worldwide Developers’ Conference (WWDC) this year is eyed to be the stage for the launch of new version of iOS, iOS 6. Although it has been less than a year since iOS 5 started operating, but experts all over the world are of the opinion that the release of new operating system is inevitable.

However, the major news that might attract media attention in this regard will be separation between Apple and Google on their map service called Google Maps. Apple is rumoured to include its own in-house map service.
