Bye bye iphone 4s year .... Let's welcome ... the new iphone.

The lights are down and the event STARTS! Tim Cook is on the stage.

He is talking about the 380 retail stores in 12 countries that apple has already opened. Sweden will have its first one this week.

Now talking about the Macbooks that announced earlier this summer, and already put apple in the lead of the US notebook market.

There are 700000 apps and 250000 of them are tablet optimized.
