This update of EveryMac.com features comprehensive updates to the iPhone Q&A and iPod Q&A to cover the latest models. EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers, too.
The iPhone Q&A answers "How much faster is the iPhone 4S than the iPhone 4? How does its speed compare to the iPad 2?" and "What is the battery life of the iPhone 4S in 'real-world' tests? Is the battery replaceable?" and everything else about the best selling new iPhone 4S in addition to questions covering the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and earlier models.
The iPod Q&A answers "Which iPods are shipping currently? How many songs does each hold? What are the 'pros and cons' of each? Which should I buy?" and "How can I save videos from YouTube and play them on my iPod?" and more than 100 other questions about all iPod models from the original iPod released a decade ago to the latest iPod touch and iPod nano.
If you have an "Early 2011" or "Late 2011" MacBook Pro and you have not already sent in its serial number for EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup, please do so. As these models only can be differentiated uniquely on hardware and in software by this single identifier, your additions are important particularly. Thank you.
