Engadget goes hands-on with the new MacBook Pro

by Josh Helfferich (Feb 24th, 2011)

If you thought today couldn't get any more hands-on, you were wrong. The folks over at our sister blog, Engadget, just received a review unit of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt technology and posted lots of delicious photos for us nerds to enjoy. (Note that unlike many other ...

Early access to Verizon iPhone: One guy got his already

by Kelly Guimont (Feb 7th, 2011)

9 to 5 Mac has linked to video of someone who managed to finagle his package out of the local UPS distribution center and get a hold of his Verizon iPhone on Saturday. This guy's camera operator flipped between portrait and landscape orientation, so if you want to get a really good look at all of ...

TUAW TV Live redux: New MacBook Air unboxing video

by Steven Sande (Oct 21st, 2010)

If you attended our liveblog of yesterday's Back to the Mac event, you were introduced to Sam Levin, a Bay Area PR guy who also happens to love Apple products. Sam was our man-on-the-street for the liveblog, sitting in the audience and giving us a firsthand view of the proceedings. On his way out of ...

Apple TV deliveries begin -- we have unboxing photos and video

by Steven Sande (Sep 29th, 2010)

Several TUAW readers have let us know that their Apple TVs have arrived, and reader Clint even sent us a link to his MobileMe gallery of his official unboxing of the new device. As you can see from the photos, the thing is tiny. The Apple TV comes packaged with a power cord, a remote, a small ...

Found footage: Stop-motion iPhone 4 disassembly

by Dave Caolo (Jul 7th, 2010)

The iPhone 4's insides are no secret anymore. The folks at iFixit alone have done a stellar job of documenting its every bit and bob. Still, the video above is worth watching. Created by repair firm Techrestore and composed of over 1,700 still photos, it's a highly entertaining stop-motion ...

Chocolate covered iPad looks tasty

by Keith M (Jun 14th, 2010)

Your wife loves chocolate, and you know she's been eying that 1.5+ lb. bar at the local Trader Joe's like a lion does a gazelle. She's also a massive Apple fan who's been dying for a shiny new iPad for months. Birthday time: the bar, or the iPad? If you're a cheap SOB, you get the bar and call ...

Friday Flickr Find: Unboxing an iPad, LEGO style

by Michael Jones (Apr 23rd, 2010)

For many of us Apple geeks, unboxing your new product is *almost* as much fun as actually using it. And while there are several ways to show off the event, having the box opened entirely by LEGO minifigures photography is probably one of the most creative and interesting ones I've seen. Enter ...

Found Footage: self-unboxing iPad

by Brett Terpstra (Apr 5th, 2010)

This is -- for me, personally -- one of the greatest unboxing videos I've ever seen. Not to oversell it, but the sheer simplicity of a self-unboxing iPad is beautiful. The complete lack of commentary (or even a human) makes it short enough that even my attention span, frazzled by years of short ...

TUAW TV Live -- Unboxing the iPad

by Steven Sande (Apr 3rd, 2010)

If you were watching TUAW this morning, you probably saw blogger Steve Sande doing live video from the Aspen Grove Apple Store in Littleton, CO. He's home now, and will be doing live streaming video of the unboxing! ...

TUAW Video: Unboxing the iPad

by Michael Rose (Apr 3rd, 2010)

Video number one appears above, and the other videos appear in the posts linked below. We are deeply appreciative of the opportunity to get our grubby palms on the iPad early enough to get these clips to you now. They may not have the smooth production values of Apple's walkthroughs, but they were ...

Stephen Fry unboxes his iPad

by Dave Caolo (Mar 31st, 2010)

Actor/comedian Stephen Fry has published a brief but oh-so-tantalizing iPad unboxing video. Above you'll see Stephen open the Apple-branded case, the iPad itself (complete with a dramatic and thoroughly warranted wooshing sound), the 10W adapter and keyboard dock. He also grabbed the ...

Magic Mouse unboxing video: Man vs. Tape

by Kent Pribbernow (Nov 1st, 2009)

Let me disclose straight away that I've opened packaging on just about every major Apple product released over the past five years and never exerted such effort in opening a little plastic container -- which by the way resembles something you would find sitting on a shelf at Pottery Barn. But ...

Unboxing an Apple employee t-shirt

by Mike Schramm (Oct 23rd, 2009)

A little while back we posted about the unboxing of an Apple job offer, and now here's another unboxing having to do with becoming an Apple employee -- Mac Rumors has shots up of an unboxing of one of the t-shirt giftboxes recently given to AppleCare call center staff, and once again, even in ...

Unboxing... an Apple job offer

by Mike Schramm (Oct 5th, 2009)

This is exactly the kind of thing we love to see here at TUAW (and thanks for sending it along, Danny) -- Glyph of the Twisted project got a job offer from Apple last week, and over on his blog, he posts a set of unboxing pics. Which might sound silly (an unboxing for a new hire packet?), but ...

Honey, they shrunk the boxes: FCS now in convenient nano size

by Michael Rose (Jul 24th, 2009)

There's more on the inside, where it counts, but the boxes are definitely downsized: over at ilove.nu, Peter Esse has posted his comparative unboxing pictures from Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 to the newly announced and shipping versions (note that Apple is just calling the product "Final ...
