Phil Schiller took the stage Monday morning at the WWDC opening keynote to do what Apple execs always do at the start of these keynotes: comb through Apple sales numbers, Mac market share, and the existing product line. After barely 5 minutes into the keynote, Phil introduces new 15″ MacBook Pros with the built-in Li-Polymer batteries [...]
