This update of EveryMac.com features complete revisions to the Retina MacBook Pro Q&A and Tapered Edge iMac Q&A to cover the latest models. The quiet change to the iPad line has been documented and more global prices for the Apple Watch have been added, too.
EveryMac.com also is pleased to note that the EveryMac webapp for Android has been installed by more than 4000 happy users. If you use an Android mobile or tablet, and you haven't already done so, please install the EveryMac webapp today. If you find the app helpful, please post a kind five-star review, as well. Thank you.
Likewise, if you haven't installed the EveryMac webapp for iOS or Kindle Fire, now is a great time to it give it a spin.
The Retina MacBook Pro Q&A answers "How fast are the 15-Inch 'Mid-2015' MacBook Pro models compared to one another? Are they really the same speed as their predecessors?" and "How do you upgrade the storage in the 'Mid-2015' MacBook Pro? Is it even possible?" along with dozens of other questions.
The Tapered Edge iMac Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the 'Retina 5K' iMac models? Which should I buy?" and "Which 'Retina 5K' iMac models have RAM that can be upgraded? How much RAM does each actually support?" along with many other questions about the latest Retina Display iMac models.
Finally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with more identifiers from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It's appreciated always.
