Apple's insanely ambitious tree-planting plans for its new spaceship campus

In a cluster of East Bay nurseries, Apple has been growing more than 4,600 trees, which are nestled in large, wooden boxes. Some time later this year, Apple's team of arborists will start shipping these trees two or three at a time to Cupertino, where they will be painstakingly planted as part of the broader landscaping plan.

No 5K Thunderbolt display with integrated GPU coming at WWDC



In recent weeks, Thunderbolt Display stock has been dwindling in many Apple retail stores across the United States, in Canada, and in the UK, leading to speculation that a refresh is on the horizon. It is still not clear if the stock shortages are indicative that a new model is coming, but the Thunderbolt Display is long overdue for an update and WWDC would be an ideal time for an unveiling.
