Others are already shipping products. Why wait for products from Apple that are not even announced but merely rumored?
Wow, the lack of logic in this comment hurts my brain
Yep, coming this fall, the Apple microwave, and electric toothbrush, and vacuum cleaner, and tupperware container set.....because other companies make these products and Apple doesn't yet.
Last time I checked, phones had been around for decades before Apple made one. They didn't ask you to "wait" for them to make one. They simply made one when the time was right and they could create a breakthrough product. You aren't "waiting" for anything considering the fact that Apple hasn't promised anything. Rumors are not announcements.
And this is exactly why Steve Jobs tried so damn hard to keep his companies projects secret.
