While it may be true that Apple sometimes released hardware at WWDC in the last decade, there's still the elephant in the room; Why have no big name sites like fool.com or wsj put their name on this "leak" if it is real? When there's real hardware coming, those guys usually get the inside scoop (and preview hardware if weeks from release). They'd be furious if Apple let small beans sites scoop them.

Not one mention of Apple anywhere.*

I stand by my post. Bloomberg spams HN for traffic. They don't get inside scoops from Apple.

The article was written by Mark Gurman who had an excellent rumor track record when he was at 9to5mac.

If the WSJ etc. does have a version to test they're most likely banned from talking about it (inc. rumours).

I think the OP is referring to the precisely timed leaks by Apple PR.

These are the articles with the words: "unnamed sources within Apple...".

An example of this was leaking the lack of 3.5mm earphone jack a year ahead so when it was launched the lack of the jack was old news, and not th focus of the news.
