Toooo much iPHONE!

Not sure what else there is to say.

- News items are posted to the front page that are considered interesting or significant.
- We don't make up rumors or news when there isn't any on a particular topic.
- If we didn't cover iPhone news, there would be fewer news stories overall, but no more Mac stories. There isn't a collection of relevant Mac rumors/news that we skip in order to make room for iPhone news.

Looking back:

November 2004: https://www.macrumors.com/site.php?mo=11&yr=2004
18 front page stories over 30 days

November 2007: https://www.macrumors.com/site.php?mo=11&yr=2007
72 front page stories over 30 days

You guys are doing exactly what you should be doing on this site and that is what makes this the number 1 Mac site. Though I am more excited about my Mac computers at the moment than my iPhone, I still look to see if there is any news on the phone everyday.

Thanks for the great site. :)

I don't think you have any right to say what "belongs" on the front page. Arn owns this site and he can post that he wore an iPhone necktie today for all he cares.
MacRumors is a site that serves up what the public is interested in along with current rumors and other Apple related tidbits.

Dude if you make a website for people to see then I guess you should concider what they want from it and listen to them. Im just making sujestions on the topics Id like to see and things that would make this site better. DONT FORGET IM A PART OF THAT PUBLIC. And while the majority here is interested in iPHONE Im interested in other things and Im just letting that be known. Not so the owner of this website has to put anything up, its just so he can concider it and keep an eye out for something I might like. Today i got a small dose. Right now I agree most articles and rumors are of iPHONE. So I guess it cant really be helped. All im doing is voicing a concern.

Im not saying i dont want iPHONE rumors. Man you guys are taking this thread more seriously then i am. Today there was a rumor posted about the Nvidia graphic chipset for laptops. I thought that was cool. Thats the type a news and articles i find most useful and interesting to me. All Im doing is letting that be known, seeing that people like me are probably the minority in this site. At the moment. So I guess this thread would be more interesting if people with my same interests posted stuff, rather then be bashed by a buncha iPHONE fanboys, this thread aint obviosly for you since your getting plenty of what you want.

Im just making sujestions on the topics Id like to see and things that would make this site better. I think the creator of this site would welcome that. Im not saying i dont want iPHONE rumors. Man you guys are taking this more seriously then i am. Today there was a rumor posted about the Nvedia graphic chipset for laptops. Thats the type a news and articles i find most useful and interesting to me. I still belive there is news about other products to be told, Its not like apple is just working on the iPHONE and other companies such as Nvedia, Adobe and intel all have products and deals with apple for there products.... so between all this there should be things to dig up... rumors are based on speculation. Nothing is really true till its verified and confirmed... I really like this website and at least today i got my dose of things NOT iPHONE. So if tommorow I get a rumor about i phone its cool I got my MAC fix today.

Wait till June, it's gonna be all iPhone then.... or pretty darn close.
 
if i keep coming to this website its because i think its a good website, otherwise i wouldnt waste my time. And I really opened up this thread simple to voice my interests in the type of articles Id like to see. Thats all and today I got my dose. So if tommorow i get another rumor about iPHONE its fine... so guys chill out!... geezus... but yeah i was also put into perspective by a previose post, that laid out the topics and dates of articles of the past... and 1 third is of iPhone. thats pretty reasonable. So i found that post more helpful then alot of others. Arn's post was helpful too... at least he provided me with some links usful links to stuff that maybe be in tune to my interests, so its good... people give it a break I aint bashing iPHONE i think its a great product, just wish i heard more about other stuff "TOO"... today I got my dose and at a rate of one third of the articles being of iPHONE i admit, its not so bad...

Yeah we'll see...
 
Well Ive waited some time to see how the articals flow over some time. I cant really speak over a period of one week. And since I posted my first post on this thread (and ticked a few people off) I find that the articles have been very diverse and informative, not only talking about apples operations, but other companies operations with apple. the latest one with IBM was cool. And I like the diversity of the topics and honestly I think this thread can be put to rest.

Im always looking further towards the Nehalem chipsets that will be available from intel for apples laptop computers as Ive been very dissapointed with the last two updates which were pretty moderate. Im looking foward to the Mac Mini Penryn Update, since im gonna purchase a Mac Mini to hold out till the Nehalem processors arrive in 2009. But that open Mac thing has got me interested and its rumors like that that make this site awsome. And i guess any updates to the ipod touch hoping they include a 5mp camera. i mean geezus the iPhone has a camera, why cant the touch. So anyway again, this thread can be put to rest.
 
Is this the iphonerumors site?

flame retardent suit on.....but for those of us that could give a crap about the iphone (original, 2.5G, 3G, 7G, black, aluminum, titanium, or otherwise) this site is getting kinda monotonous. Can the iphone stuff have it's own tab or something? I'm getting kinda sick at "leaked" photos of a black rectangle with an apple logo on it. I'd rather hear about a new 10.5.3 build seeded or something....anyone with me?
 
If you use Forum Spy you can exclude the iPhone section and any of the others.

Nope. I'd like to know about all things Apple related and this site does just that. I'm not forced to read everything on the main page. Seeds don't particularly interest me but I deal. Big whoop, Apple is patching the OS... ohhh ahhh.
 
this is an apple rumors site for all intents and purposes. that includes the iphone, and right now there is a lot of talk going around about the iphone, hence why you see so many news posts about it.
 
I don't care for it either but I have this procedure where I don't click those threads which are about iPhone stuff.

you can also chose to ignore that forum in the spy (in preferences) and there's this as well.

it's just how it goes sometimes, everything in cycles.
 
Used to be "Remember when Apple made Computers?"

Now its "Remember when Apple made iPod's?"

I too share your sheer lack of interest in the iPhone. Overpriced toy for ****s asking to be mugged.

iPod Touch on the other hand...

iPod Touch - Overpriced toy for ****s asking to be mugged that have no friends that like to call them. :p

Back when the site was made there really wasn't much else than the Mac to report on. Apple has changed, the site has changed, it's just the domain has stayed the same.

Also if it's macrumors maybe we shouldn't post when things actually are released since those would be better suited to macfacts.
 
Learn something new every day...thanks for the tip on Forum Spy and how to exclude posts! I too have the habit of not clicking articles I don't care about...problem is, lately I have to scroll for 30 seconds to get past all the "new iphone photo" articles. Now when the new Mac Mini comes out - I'll be all over that :) (seriously)

Since the iPhone is an Apple product, why, yes, it is.

Well, for those of us who could give a crap about anti-iPhone opinions like yours, threads like this are monotonous. If you don't like it, Google can help you find plenty of other sites to browse.
 
The site was named MacRumors when Apple had only one of its current three product lines. The site has always covered Apple's full product line and the name in no way limits that scope.

I suggest that those who have interest in only a subset of stories use the RSS feed to pick and choose what they want to read.
