People living in Canada there is real good news for you because of the fact the iPhone 4 can be purchased without a contract and is fully unlocked! Another great reason as to why living in Canada is a good thing! No news on whether the iPhone will be unlocked in the U.S. but Apple is so far leaving the iPhone 4 with AT&T. Everyone wonders what is wrong with AT&T and why Apple even decided to team up with them. On the first day of pre-orders of the iPhone 4 AT&T had a really hard time getting people's order through because of all the traffic on their servers. Some users who were at the checkout ended up getting their order cancelled and many credit card numbers had been lost. So much for AT&T... The pre-orders were only for the Black iPhone 4 and we believe the White iPhone will be up for sale in stores. Also the release date was also delayed due to huge demand and in the U.S. we are looking at around July 18th. No real news as to when the iPhone will be hitting Canada but it will be hitting four other asian countries after it is released in the U.S.

That's it for today, stay tuned for more news only on 1-Mac.

Apple has released an update to their OS today and you can download it through their website or using the Apple logo on the top left hand corner and clicking Software Update... I was looking on their site and noticed that there is a different update separate for Mac mini users and that if you do use a Mac mini then that should be the update for you! This update is for the Mac mini's from the Mid 2010 range and that means the new ones released today. We doubt many people have one right now but if you do then this update is for you!

Here is the link for the 10.6.4 update for all Mac users (except the ones with the new Mac mini released today): Apple 10.6.4 Update

These are some of the fixes in 10.6.4

Today Apple had quietly released the new Mac mini and no one really expected it to be this recent and it looks quite different and is the first redesign in five years! The chassis is now made fully with aluminum and it now features 4 usb ports, FireWire 800 port, Ethernet, SD Card Slot, HDMI port and audio in and audio out. This is a significant update as many people wanted a full HDMI port so it could be easy to hook it up to any TV with ease. The design is 1.4 inches thin, rather than the old one being 2 inches and it seems to be really easy to be user replaceable with hard drives and memory, through the bottom padding. The Processor standard is 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2gb ram and 320gb Hard drive alongside with an nVidia 320m graphics chip. The Mac mini also features no more huge power bricks this model has no power brick which is really quite nice and the price it starts at is $699 USD which is $100 more but could be quite expensive. At one point where Apple had made the Mac mini to be cheap could now end up being on the expensive side for some. The design looks really identical to either the Apple TV or Time Capsule.

Will the new Mac mini sell? We can't tell yet and there are still flaws to be found in this redesign. Also there is a server model of this Mac mini with a 2.66ghz processor and 7200rpm drive which is much faster than the previous hard drives and the price for that stays at $999. That is the main news for now and also iPhone 4 pre-orders are today!

Here is a video of me providing an overview of the new Mac mini:

Now in previous posts, I had talked about all the feature of iOS 4 in this video I made I will take you through a bit of what we can expect from iOS 4 and some compatibility issues with Apple devices. Also be sure to look out on some other YouTube channels I mention throughout this video and hopefully you enjoy! Comment, rate and subscribe!

As we had talked about in previous posts, Apple has released Safari 5 and so far I am liking it and I made two videos to show you guys what I think of it and some of the new features, that you can find on it. I couldn't figure out the reader feature in the first video so I added that in the second video. Hope you enjoy the video and the recording of the video was used from the mic on my new webcam and so far it sounds quite decent, hope you enjoy the videos:

This isn't much of an Apple news but I just recently bought this great webcam and it was around $50, it features a 12MP still image resolution with a 2.0 megapixel video camera sensor. The label on the packaging says it's only Window's Vista compatible but I have tried it with OSX and it works just fine. The other install disk that comes with it just makes neat effects which didn't come in much use for me but overall I really like this webcam and here is a video of me unboxing it:
