Welcome to the Weekend Apple Breakfast column. This column rounds up all the Apple news you missed this week. Apple, he calls it breakfast, because it goes well with your morning coffee or tea, but it’s cool if you also want to read at lunch or dinner time.
When did Apple rumors stop being funny?
Biting and accusations flew through the rumor world this week with the news that the iOS 17 leak may have been a feather in the horse. Mark Gurman (minor conflict of interest, but leaker analyst himself and rival of source under scrutiny) tweet ferociously It said the seemingly innocuous story was “completely based on troll accounts known to fabricate false information,” primarily expressing disappointment that a respectable site had been duped by the hoax.iMore agreed, pointing to LeaksApplePro’s “disastrous track record” and exorbitant past claims. 9to5mac wrote about it but declined to link to the story. AppleInsider has promised to implement a so-called “BS meter” that in the future will “clearly label what we think about rumors in question before clicking through.”
So, first of all, Mikalpa. In fact, Macworld picked up the story, mentioning the source’s “mediocre track record” but probably not being clear enough about their unwavering credibility. Feel free to dismiss everything else it is trying to say as the acrimonious ramblings of a hoax victim. (However, the strange “hoax”: a vague but perfectly plausible set of predictions that are likely to turn out to be accurate, or at least very difficult to prove wrong. )
But here’s the problem. No source is completely reliable, and no leak is 100% reliable. Industry best Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo have failed in the past. John Prosser once dropped a ball so badly that he had to have his eyebrows shaved as a forfeit. DigiTimes reported that Apple’s arrival of his MacBook Pro was “delayed yet again” less than a week after his arrival. In the early 2000s, Think Secret had to shut down the entire site after reporting false rumors of his FireWire audio interface box for his GarageBand, codenamed Asteroid.
Rumors were sketchy business at their best, and there were times when Macworld preferred not to cover them.But Apple fans TRUE I’m interested in that. why? because they are fun. Apple’s rumors, which bridged sizable gaps between product announcements, raised expectations and shattered expectations at the same time, were a big part of Apple’s success in his lean era. Sites like Spymac, Think Secret, and Macrumors have helped keep Apple relevant during the downturn and generated considerable buzz around events and releases. We didn’t spend much time arguing about what was true.
Rumors are part of the tech industry these days, but they’re ingrained in Apple’s culture like no other company. But it comes with risks. You can cover rumors or just write accurate predictions. But you can’t do both.
So the path we have chosen is one of compromise. When we cover rumors, we try to explore your interests – just for fun. I am writing about rumors. But we try to balance it with context and expertise. I’m trying to provide insight into which theories are likely to be true and which ones should be considered silly distractions. We’ve seen a lot of the rumors come and go, and generally have a pretty good idea of what levels are on the level. But the information provided seemed plausible.
Even great people do things wrong sometimes. If you’re looking for strictly accurate information, you’re in the wrong game. Better wait for the keynote. And spending time getting angry when people make mistakes doesn’t even make sense of it.
