I hope that this guys do something else in their lives than just fighting one each other about who is right in things that will happen anyways...
 
Everything he expects to be announced via press release on Tuesday is showing delivery times of 2-3 weeks out (for me at least). I think he might have nailed this one, annoyingly. :)
 
What? He Tweeted "iPhone OS" during the keynote. Completely false.


He then stole an alleged picture of airpower when it was just a knockoff product and he even slapped his name to watermark it. The original source even tweeted at him basically shaming him for stealing his content (now deleted tweet).


And there was never an iPhone SE Plus (or as he calls it, iPhone 9 Plus)

And the "Steve Jobs Heritage Edition" AR glasses is extremely stupid. Apple would never do something like that. Mark (who has a far better track record) shut it down completely



and on and on and on...

Make enough guesses, you're bound to be right, obviously. This is what he's doing.

thank you for posting this as I state these lies every time his weird fans show up in these threads.

He claimed hardware at wwdc as well

he’s also a massive liar when it comes to Pixel devices like the pixel ultra and the pixel 5 design.

he probably knows someone that works at a warehouse and tells him when they’re told to ship a device and that’s it. No insider at Apple, Load of bollocks.
 
can we stop reporting on jon prosser if he gets this one wrong?

for the record: i believe something is happening tomorrow, but if he's wrong about the details on this, he's done IMO.

or, now here's a brave thought:

you stop investing this much emotional attention in a person that overall makes no impact on your life. either he's right and it's cool, or he's wrong and absolutely nothing changes.
 
Really seems odd to announce a new Apple Watch by press release but we will find out in a few hours. If he is right, I will be ordering my new Series 6 as soon as Apple starts taking orders :)

it could be a thing. it's not really a special device in their lineup, especially if they dont plan on doing anything really cool with it this year.

"here's a new watch. same price structure and customizations. buy it or not have fun"

or he's wrong and it's w/e
 
I'd love a new iPad Air this fall.

But, if the price rumors of an increase to $649 up from $499 are true, then that'll certainly put a damper on proceedings 😱.

I think $649 would be too close to the 11" iPad Pro. Maybe $599 with a storage bump to 128GB as the base model as a sweetener.

I honestly think they’ll discontinue the 11 inch pro and just have the 12.9 inch pro.

Then the air for a more expensive price without Face ID or pro motion.

While we are at it, can the people who keep claiming that Apple is doomed also stop posting here? Since they clearly have no clue what they are talking about either?

I used to get excited over new products, but then I realised we were excited for the product we have in our hands today a few years ago. At that moment I realised we should never wait for the next big thing and try to catch all the rumors, and use what we have and enjoy it to its MAXIMUM and the update is going to happen eventually.

i’m sorry, but if you don’t want to get your hopes high, then just don’t visit Mac RUMORS!
It’s literally in the name. The website is not called Mac facts, it’s called Mac rumors. There is a reason for that

You are not wrong, but there is a difference between rumors and lying/fake. Rumor has some credibility, fake has 0 credibility. Its like the boy that cried wolf.

Well said. With how short our attention spans have become, even if Prosser is slightly incorrect, we will forget all about this. He will continue his ways and we will continue to either believe him or ignore. Mark Gurman has gotten the finer details of many product announcements wrong as well, yet we continue to comment on his posts.

So, whatever happens in the next 5 hours, let’s all instead, get excited about the new products. What do you say?

I'm really enjoying Prosser's tweets and YouTube videos. Think his style is a good fit for this kind of content. Clearly he has great inside sources, you can't nail them all. Hope he wins this standoff with Gurman!
 
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.

I'm sorry, that reminded me of this.. 😂

Yeah, that...and also I’m sure MR gets tons of clicks whenever they post anything related to Prosser, so, in essence, the prior post is meaningless, because the poster is demanding that the public ignore Prosser, which won’t happen.

Uhh the Watch is very special Lol. As is the iPad. They can easily do a press release and “reveal video”.

The new features of the Series 5 were minimal. It could’ve definitely been a press release. The Series 6 rumored features would definitely allow for a nice video or at least some early reviews.

I don't like Prosser's attitude, but I do see Apple releasing the Watch and iPad via press release. It makes sense in 2020. These are most likely minor (but welcomed) updates that Apple can post on their site before releasing the iPhone upgrades later this month-November.

Makes sense in a way, still would feel mighty underwhelming to hear about the Watch via press release. The S5 was already such a tepid update to the phenomenal S4, and the Watch itself is basically the only new line to the Apple family of products that Tim's team has managed to produce (other than peripherals like the AirPods). Feels like selling it short. Another minor update after two years of Apple sitting on their trillionaire hands is just ...meh.

Looks like whether we base our expectations on rumours or time elapsed (let's face it, 2 years in tech is a geological period), we're set for disappointment :(
 
The two products I find myself less and less enthused about too. Working from home nearly full time I find I wear my s4 less and less, and I much prefer my MBP and MBA to my iPad Air 3. I only use iPad for bedtime reading these days.
Just me, but an iPad Pro like air doesn’t interest me. The 2017 pro I had was a disaster with the non responsive screen issues and sold it over a year ago. The air 3 I have is solid, and I prefer a home button on an iPad.
 
I am expecting, regular iPad, Apple Watch, possibly their newly designed air power...

Reasons... nothing major in both Apple watch and regular iPad and AirPower is going to be hard to pitch after they already told us how great the original AirPower was going to be.

I think the iPad Air may come with the iPhone event... due to it having a full redesign and Touch ID in the power button.
