What Went Wrong: Apple Watch Series 7 Rumors Edition

Amateurish? He means Jeff being a little uncomfortable in front of camera? And surely, even the animations in the marketing films would take months to produce. If Prosser could provide some evidence to bak up the claims, perhaps by determining what month it was filmed, I'd consider believing him.

Still, it's nice to know Apple prepares parallell production lines and marketing for its products…

What he means by ameuterish is the transition from iPad mini to Aplle watch, just a hard cut from Tim onstage to him onstage in another place.

That's true, I forgot about that, but still not a form factor redesign!
And where does it say that the series 7 is 41 mm and 45 mm?
Although they said say the watch is slightly bigger, Apple did not mention the case size during the event, nor is it listed on their site.

Prosser‘s latest YouTube video is very interesting and he said what I said a couple days ago and that is that Apple did have a flat square design but had manufacturing issues and had to switch to a contingency replacement at the 11th hour which is the watch we are waiting for.. He even evidences from the keynote, the switch from iPad to Apple Watch was very amateurish, not seamless and didn’t flow and that’s because they had to re-film the announcement for Apple Watch to market the contingency model. He also says that the S7 isn’t even in production yet and won’t start for another two week And even that isn’t certain which is why Apple cannot even state which month the watch will be available for order

I agree with what Jon says, however I Didn't think the transition is a good proof, because I would assume Apple shoots a few Apple watch sections of the event, in case what happened does happen, as it did.

The new watch bands are offered in 41 and 45, on apples website, I think that is enough proof

And what exactly “happened”??!
Prosser is trying to save face, nothing more, he was set up by Apple, that’s what I think

I'm trying to find it... where does it say case size?

See message 377, in addition to what someone posted in response to you above. It’s in many places on their website, plus it was discussed at the presentation and is in their press releases.
 
Recap of the entire story, but the discussion at the end about how the new watch is exactly designed to fit the flat-design screens and bands that had already been produced fits perfectly with Apple messing up.

 
If you believed all the leaks and rumors and are mad at those providing said leaks and rumors for getting it wrong, well, you really have nobody to be mad at but yourself.

Never believe the hype until Apple announces it and even then remain skeptical lol (ahem, AirPower)

I take it those upset with the failed rumors are those that were really looking forward to the squared off redesign or they wouldn’t be so mad. That’s the problem with Apple releasing these fake leaks to out the leakers. The potential to disappoint a lot of potential buyers so I don’t think this was created by Apple. They’re smarter than that.

That’s actually NOT his hobby. If you do the back research on John Prosser, he was nothing more than a journalist. He considers himself to be an ‘Apple insider’, but he doesn’t have any of the actual hard data that we see from the likes of Ming Kuo. Furthermore, his accuracy rate is probably about 20% or less over the last three years for Apple product predictions. I’d say that’s a pretty poor batting average for somebody this is their ‘hobby’.
