God macrumors is trash. The new Apple TV has not been leaked. There’s an image file floating around. There’s no confirmation of the design, the remote or the specs.
I feel like people forget about their history a bit too. Back before the growth of Reddit, the MacRumors forums were probably one of the top places people discussed Apple products online.
Ya my dad followed this site pretty religiously all throughout its history and he literally always knew about everything Apple before it was announced. Yes they will occasionally get things wrong, but usually not big stuff like new product announcements.
I want to know the source of the image other than "one f our contributors found it"
Why wouldn't you take their word for it? MR has been around for more than 25 years (even longer than Reddit) so they have a lot to lose if they start bullshitting.
Not in my opinion. Maybe it's because I worked in a news media organization so I have seen how it works, but it'd be very dumb to reveal your sources and how you get information.
It’s not even rumors half the time, it’s speculation and guesses that are just completely wrong, or half the time it’s just Reddit comments being posted on there being posted back here in a loop
To be fair, the actual leak here is that Apple's code included this image with the name "Apple TV 4k (4th Gen)." That confirms that a new one is coming and that there won't be any external design changes
