As the news from WWDC continues to flow, Apple has just announced a new AirPort Extreme base station. It's 4 inches wide and 6.5-inches tall with support for simultaneous dual-band 802.11 ac and has a "beamforming" antenna configuration to enhance performance. Also announced is the AirPort Time Capsule, which has similar specs as the Extreme but has a built-in hard drive in either 2TB or 3TB configurations. Should go nice with those new MacBook Airs right? .
Update: We've learned the AirPort Extreme is $199 while the AirPort Time Capsule is priced at $299 for the 2TB version and $399 for the 3TB model. We've included links to the product pages below if you'd like more specs or just want to place an order for one.
