This has nothing to do with me getting offended, not sure how you read into my post and came up with that. I'm just saying regardless of how the source of this info is ... it's nothing any of us users/fans really could use - again it's needless news.
I agree that marcumors have better things to do than commenting every Gurman's sentence. That doesn't make Gurman a "ridiculous tech journalist". He was just replying to a question.
Bloomberg's highly-respected Mark Gurman says that he expects nothing "particularly innovative" or "extraordinary" to launch at Apple's "Spring Loaded" event next week, Tuesday, April 20.
Gurman made the remarks during an interview for Bloomberg Technology, in which he reaffirmed that Apple will launch a new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, with the higher-end model featuring a brand new mini-LED display. Gurman says these new iPads are only an "iterative update" to the iPad line, an increasingly vital product family for the tech giant thanks to the global health crisis.
The event will be Apple's first product launch of 2021, and speculation about what could be announced is nothing short of rampant. One of the biggest new upcoming products expected from Apple is redesigned iMacs, which Bloomberg has previously reported will receive a design that is in line with the Pro Display XDR and a more powerful Apple silicon chip.
No timeframe has been set for when these new iMacs could debut and Gurman says, "if the iMac does indeed get launched next week, that's going to be a big deal." Apple is also reportedly preparing to launch AirTags, a circular Tile-like tracking device that can be attached and used to locate items such as keys, bags, and more.
The event will take place on Tuesday, April 20, and will be live-streamed via Apple's website, the Apple TV app, and Apple's YouTube channel. It'll kick off at 10:00 a.m Pacific Time, and for those unable to watch, MacRumors will be providing full event coverage both on MacRumors.com and through the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

Yeah, it could be a perfectly neutral statement, but I don't think the audience of Bloomberg would read it that way.
to create hype and get people interested. marketing helps alot as most know.
Remember the 1st Fall Apple Special Event last year? What was the reason to justify that event? All that was shown, in terms of hardware, was the HomePod Mini, the redesigned iPad Air, iPad, and the Apple Watch Series 6.
It wasn't exactly groundbreaking. They could have just revealed the new products on apple.com without making this video.
It would be the case if Gurman wrote a news story stating that we should not expect anything particularly innovative. But he just emitted a personal opinion to answer a journalist. He even said that if the new iMacs were indeed revealed next week, that would be a big deal.
Exciting for whom? Apple front office employees who are made to clap and cheer for every quotidian detail of their employer? C-suite execs who love to self congratulate themselves to death? The user who's been waiting for a new exciting product announcement about as much as they've been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever with a similar outcome?
Apple is truly blessed not to have a competitor like their younger self (led by Steve Jobs). They've become just like Blackberry and Microsoft in early 2010s.
Xcode compiling, data analysis, Final cut, DaVinci Resolve, playing demanding games. None of which runs on iPad.
Do you know what site you are on? I'm sure there are a lot of people here that find the Apple announcement videos fun and exciting to watch no matter what actually gets announced in them even if its just to see an Apple employee talking on the solar roof of Apple Park about the environmental friendliness of their products.
He's not. Some posters on here just try to be hip and criticize analysts because it's the "in" thing to do.
Well seeing as we are in 2021 and there are still no good full screen phones out. Samsung will add it in the ultra in 2022 so a year before Apple is likely to have it. Hardly 5 years is it
