It was an obvious joke, during which he claimed there would be no Watch in September.
What???? Prosser wasn't wrong about EVERYTHING?!
Why do you have to lay everything out with FACTS? Why can't you just let me go on hating based on my feelings!
😂
But seriously. This was a really cool article to lay everything out on what was right and wrong. Prosser wasn't ALL in the "wrong" category, haha.

because people generally have nothing better to do, then you stick them at home during a pandemic, and rather than pick up a book, they choose to spew vitriol about a person they have never met, nor makes a big difference to their lives.
these people quite literally could be doing anything, *anything* else, but they get their twisted happiness off on constantly being this pissed off about something that does not matter.
"i don't fully understand MRs hate against him"
because even when an article proves he's not all that bad, people would rather "but still!" and be "right" so they can feel good about themselves for being so hateful.
Prosser got two right and one wrong. And his two that were right contained interesting details of products, whilst the one wrong was merely a trivial prediction of when and how announcements would be made.
I have no personal interest in any of the leakers, but I'm confused why everyone poops all over Prosser so much?!

He got 2 out of 3 right.
He got 2 out of 3 right. That isn't scattergun.

According to this report card he got 2 out of 3 right. What are the earlier reports that he got wrong?
Oh wow, Prosser is 72.7% accurate, and MacRumors 69%. That throws a spanner in the works for most Prosser haters on this site 😆
I don’t know why, but the score card for Prosser seems much better than the impression I have of him from following his reports on Macrumors. I thought every article Macrumors posted about him was wrong in some way. I think he’s not worth worrying about.
Actually 2/4. In the inaccurate section they lumped two together. Don’t know if that was intentional of not.
Didn't Jon Prosser also said Airtags will come out in the September event? You missed out that wrong prediction on your list.

It's all paraphrasing. If you watch the video where Prosser shows off the render, he says they have been produced and may likely release at the Time Flies event but that it's not certain.
He makes it pretty obvious when he's not certain about something or when something may be subject to change, but everyone seems to take it as "IT'S 10000% HAPPENING," report it that way, and then get mad when it doesn't.
Yeah I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't include it.
I try to include only clear-cut, black-and-white rumors in the list.
Depends how far back you’re looking. He nailed some of the earlier products from March/April, but struggled with WWDC. Realistically, I don’t suspect Prosser has any connections with Apples suppliers, he must have an inside source direct from in Apple itself. And the way we would only know that, is if he was able to be exposed, then he would eliminate his source trail’.
And can we also note that he literally denied and insisted he's still right even though his reports and predictions were totally off?
Like seriously, Prosser is an arrogant leaker with literally no ethics.
Looking at factual reports, it makes absolutely no sense for a rumor site to not report on Prosser’s leaks. Seeing as there are many other leakers with worse records, the outcry to silence him specifically seems purely emotional.
Remember that time where he stole an image from someone and put his watermark over a fake AirPower in which he passed off as the real prototype?
He claimed that he had to *verify* it
And he even tried to defend it by saying he'll "move the Watch to the sides for ya"
Do you *really* want to be defending this awful human being?
