Harry writes "In recent years, fact-based reporting about Apple and its products has been almost completely overwhelmed by gossip, predictions, and speculation — an amazing percentage of which is embarrassingly wrong. I've put together a guide to figuring out which scuttlebutt is almost certainly fiction, and which has a shot at jibing with reality."

  2. Just compare against this handy list by Xest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple products overview
    =======================
    Pros:
    - It looks cool
    - It sounds cool
    - It probably smells cool
    - It probably even tastes cool

    Cons:
    - It's expensive
    - It lacks features initially

    Any rumour about an Apple product where the details of the rumour fall outside this list is false.
