I doubt this is legit. This antenna extension thingy is the un-Apple kind of thing that would get Jonathan Ive fired:



And it's a pre-Unibody body. I call it a user mod.

I don't think it a user mod, here is a pic of the sim location in the battery bay.

Maybe. But I'll stick to my story

If this is legit, I guess someone else got fired, probably by Jonathan Ive...

Typical Apple, to step in and bar the auction at the last minute

The least they could have done is place the highest bid and paid to take the MacBook back if they were so concerned with their 5 yr old tech being in the public arena. Very petty, Apple...
