You ever wonder why we have Apple rumors or else of just mold off-white ?
Well , for starters , bones are not vegan , so we ’d be leaving a fortune of people out of the procedure if we used bones . In terms of truth , however , it often does n’t seem like we ’d be drop anything .
Apple held an event last night in which it harbinger M3 - basediMacsandMacBook Pros , finally update its somewhat languish key signature desktop Mac and bringing even more mightiness to its already powerful laptops .
The peculiar thing about this , however , is that just a few weeks ago , the rumour mill had written off the theory of Apple ship any more new Macs this year . Back in September , both DigiTimes and Ming - Chi Kuo claimed Applewould not release M3 - based MacBooksuntil next year .
It ’s not the only rumor miss to happen recently . Not by a farseeing shooter .
Just Clarence Shepard Day Jr. agoMark Gurman intimate Apple would ship novel Magic Keyboard , Magic Mouse , and Magic Trackpad accessories with USB - C connexion with yesterday ’s M3 - based Macs . That did n’t happen . ( It does seem a little rum that it did n’t happen , but it did n’t happen . ) It was expected by some that Apple would ship a newfangled iPad Air this month . That did n’t take place either .
The Macalope could go on . In fact , he might a little . He ’s get time . There were alsothose imagesof colour - matched USB - C cables . Where did those come from ? There was a rumour that the Apple Watch Ultra would shipin disconsolate Ti . And the one about the iPhone 15 Pro Max being renamedthe iPhone 15 Ultra .
All this is to say nothing ofScarecrow ’s brainpower .
IDG
We do n’t get to pick the kind of rumors that are promulgated but it seems to the Macalope that the most worthful kind of rumour is one that accurately predicts when a new machine will be introduced . These rumour help you make buying decisions and can help oneself you prevent making a mistake .
Like , say , buy a Power Mac just 24-hour interval before it grow f number - bumped . Or spending more than you postulate to on a titanium PowerBook two workweek before the white iBooks were reveal .
Not that the Macalope make love anyone who did those two weirdly specific thing .
Cough .
( Apple did give the Macalope a refund for the terms deviation on the Power Mac . If that was even him at all . )
Conversely , the worst form of rumor is one that incorrectly say a product is not coming , only to have it show up a few weeks later . One out of five stars . Would not interpret again . Would give zero star if potential .
DigiTimes seems to be extremely hit - and - miss but ironically Kuo is one of the good hearsay - monger . He ’s quite often right !
So why do we irritate with Apple hearsay ?
Well , Apple rumors are just fun . As long as you do n’t take them too gravely . This horned observer was raise on the rumor of the tardy nineties . When you render to tell kid today that there were once sites claiming Apple was formulate screwball - power laptops , they wo n’t consider you ( actual rumor from a farseeing - defunct website , and notthis one ) .
They ’ll also tell you to stop hanging around the teen rec middle , the eldritch honest-to-goodness guy who only want to lecture about Apple rumors . Very rude .
While you have your playfulness , you could also often glean some available info from Apple rumour , but very much caveat lector .
