iPhone 17’s (insert all the decent rumored features here) canceled.

Doesn’t sound like the 17 is gonna be much of anything. Unless you’re coming from a 12 or earlier.
13 & 14 users probably want to upgrade. Regular 15 users… lets see how apple intelligence continues to pan out.
 
Having recently held a Samsung 25U and thinking the screen was amazing I was genuinely looking forward to seeing Apple put something like it on their 17 series.
Pretty bad it’s not coming. More AI promises instead no doubt. Maybe another useless camera button?
No arguing with the first part of your statement. Their biggest competitors have figured it out, and they are dragging their feet. But “useless camera button”? I and millions use it daily; it’s highly useful. This sounds like user error to me.

yup, was just about to write the same thing ... weird world we are living in, isn't it?

MR staff: you can do better than this!
Strongly disagree. This site is called Mac Rumors. This is what they do.

It is a weird world we’re living in, because there are people coming to the forums of a rumor website complaining (in ways they think make them look clever) that the hard-working writers from that site are wasting their time reporting on… rumors. 🙄

If you have any integrity you admit that you made a mistake, but that is not a trait anymore
 
Now you’re accusing the Mac Rumors journalists and editorial staff of not having integrity, for writing an article about a rumor? That’s nuts.
Let's be specific, rather than saying the complaint was simply "writing an article about a rumor," because we know there is more to it than that.

The comment you replied to specifically was about how odd it is that MR framed this as Apple cancels scratch-resistant anti-reflective display coating, when that supposed feature has not been announced by Apple. It's a rumor that MR published and later, they say, turned out not to be accurate.

So this isn't simply criticizing MR (rightly, as I also did in this thread) for vaguely "writing an article about a rumor." No one is criticizing MR for that. It's about claiming that a rumor that didn't pan out meant that Apple canceled it. We have no idea whether it was ever a planned feature, and if it wasn't then it couldn't have been canceled. The headline overstates what's written in the story.
 
That’s too bad. The nano-texture iPad is great and I’d like a similar feature on the iPhone.
The only downside is that it degrades about the display quality, the colors look a bit washed of unfortunately.
