I mean, let’s be honest, none of us need the latest Apple products to get any of our jobs done. Even if we rely on our Apple products to do our jobs, they don’t need to be the latest one.
Anyone who uses an iPhone, iPad, or Mac for their job or their livelihood, and they’re using the latest generation are doing it either because they like to be on the cutting edge, or the previous one that they had wasn’t meeting their needs.
But the latest generation of Apple products is not necessary for anyone. We could all survive still using an iPhone 7, and a 2015 MacBook Pro. Or any type of combination of Apple products from the last 3 to 5 years. But we buy the latest generation because were passionate about the company, and we enjoy their products.


This couldn't summarized better. On point.
 
So, I guess what we have learned from this experience is that, unless the Apple Store is down prior to the launch of a new product, ignore any leaks or rumors you hear or read. Got it!

Don't forget that you need to pass the custody which is slow of course
Customs...not custody.

Random stock availability is most lkely Apple store blowing out remaining stock. But the overall trend seems to be unavailability. My local Apple store has nothing of any kind.
 
I just did a quick check in my area; there's not a Wifi iPad or iPad Air to be had in any Greater Boston store (12 stores come up as options with a Boston ZIP, including 2 in New Hampshire). Shipping is roughly 1-2 weeks out. Watch Series 5 Sport availability is spotty in stores depending on band, but none seem to be available for delivery.

If it's not coming today, it's coming soon.

Four leaks out of five of his are correct. He has close to an 80% track record. I’m not sure how that’s frequent fake news, but fake news is such an overused term in 2020.
Fake news literally means news that you don’t agree with, or that offends you.
Does a new Apple Watch coming tomorrow offend you?
People like to pretend that Prosser is frequently wrong, for some bizarre reason. Fact is he frequently right, and sometimes wrong.

Yet these same people champion Kuo is who is frequently wrong, and sometimes right.

I don't get it.
 
It's been a long time since we had a new subtitled interview video of the 'El Risitas' Spanish laughing guy - Juan Joya Borja.
Surely someone has done one with him saying.. "so we sent a fake leak to Prosser.. " etc... ; )

Edit: This is still my favourite. Cracks me up every time I watch it....

Makes no difference because that tweet came before the quoted one.

Apple had 9 AM ET "locked on" and he would update us if anything changed this morning. No update tweets = no changes = 9a - 12p ET tweet means nothing but trying to justify Prosser. I mean ... if Apple releases something at 9p ET (as unlikely as it would be), people would say that Prosser was still right.

My guess is that if products are being announced today, they might push preorders to start on Friday or something (which explains why the Apple Store isn't down).
 
Apple is very good at updating the store at the top of the hour. I'd be looking at 11 and noon ET for updates.

Yup. As I said in a previous post, Posser should just take the L and admit that he was wrong. That way, he could still salvage whatever trust he has left. Otherwise, people will continue to dismiss and I think in increasingly higher numbers. He gained quite a following after his remarkable accuracy with the iPhone SE 2 release and launch date, but at this point, with how he is handling the iPad Air/Apple Watch Series 6 rumors, I think more people will start to ignore him.

Who knows!
 
well just to throw fire onto the rumor flames... I’ve just received a message from Vodaphone in the UK to sign up for iPhone news on the new phones. This has a competition that ends on October 14th.
Could this be THE date that the phone is announced? Who knows, time will tell!

People love drama and being angry. That’s really all there is to it.

It really doesn’t matter who’s right and who’s wrong on these “leaks” in the grand scheme of things. There are much more pressing issues going on in the world that are far more important. I get the feeling some here think the loser of the Prosser/Gurman feud has to commit sepukku for the shame brought to the Apple community lol.

Let’s be real, everyone... It’s not that big of a deal.

Did anyone really think Apple would release a watch when watchOS is no where near ready, and the iPhone event is in October
 
Hmm, wonder if Apple provided a fake date/time to some people internally to see if they were Prosser's sources...
 
Is anyone else irrationally hoping for some Apple Silicon MacBook / MBP news? I know there won’t be a release today of course but at least some news would be fantastic. So far there have only been leaks and I need more info!
 
This is an ALL-OUT WAR between Jon Prosser and Mark Gurman. The stakes are extremely high and the loser MUST shoulder the full consequences. THIS MEANS WHOEVER IS WRONG TOMORROW MUST HAVE THEIR CREDIBILITY COMPLETELY WIPED TO ZERO, AND THAT PERSON MUST SHAMEFULLY EXIT THE RUMOR MILLS FOREVER - MACRUMORS SHOULD NEVER REPORT ON THAT PERSON EVER AGAIN AS HE WILL HAVE NO CREDIBILITY AT ALL. We cannot and should not allow whoever is wrong tomorrow to keep messing with unreliable rumors on MR in the future, and raising our false hopes. This is simply the stakes of what happens when two so-called leakers try to throw crap on the wall and see what sticks. This approach has no place in the world at all.

Two men enter. One man leaves.

It’s certainly the most stable of all the betas in my experience.
I mean, what significant changes are there, really, in watch OS 7? Most of the changes are incremental and small, as far as I remember, from the WWDC Keynote back in June...so, because the changes are so small, it would make sense that the betas are more stable than macOS or iOS/iPadOS...
