Rumors: True or False?
Apple is, without a doubt, very good at making innovative products. Not many smartphone makers can whip up the kind of speculation, suspense, and excitement in fans that precede the launch of the latest Apple products. Die-hard fans have been known to stalk online forums and news websites for months before the launch of their favorite device from the information technology giant.
If you’re an Apple aficionado yourself, you probably know that a lot of the information you come across about Apple products before their release can be misleading. For example, there were rumors going around that the newest iPhone 6 was going to have a wraparound screen, made with a technology that Apple has patented. This rumor ultimately turned out to be false.
Not all Apple rumors are false, though. A Taiwanese pop star told the world early this year that the newest iPhone 6 would be larger than the iPhone 5 and that it would have a curved body. And this rumor was actually true, as the recently released iPhone 6 showed us!
Some websites have had better track records than others when it comes to Apple rumors. Here’s a collection of the 5 best places you should visit for accurate news about Apple products.
