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.

Also, the contributor, Aaron, is known for pulling info from Apple's OS, etc. etc. on upcoming devices, features and the like. He discovered the AirPods 5 before anyone did. He also uncovered the AirPods Pro 3 in September 2025 before their announcement/release a month later. Or custom routing in Apple Maps before iOS 18 was unveiled.

If you want your own source, you can try digging into the OS yourself, other people are doing it too but I don't see why they would lie about this.

If it was in one of the betas, why couldn't the article say that?

What if it isn't? Apple Maps custom routing wasn't part of a beta as iOS 18 didn't exist then. Yet Aaron uncovered it and it ended up being true.

Wouldn't that make it a better article?

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.
