Apple iPhone 5 Rumors: Can We Trust The Photos, Components, Features Are Legitimate?
Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) will finally unveil its so-called Phone 5 — the unofficial name for its sixth-generation iPhone — on Sept. 12, according to iMore, The Verge, The Loop, Reuters, Bloomberg, the New York Times and CNN.
Since May, however, pictures of future iPhone components have been popping up around the Internet, and, by now, most people think they know what the iPhone 5 looks like. But to what degree can this iPhone evidence be trusted?
At the D10 Conference in May, Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., to tell the technophilic audience that Apple plans to “double down on secrecy on products.”
“We’re going to double down on secrecy on products,” Cook said. “I’m serious. … Secrecy on the product side is so important.”
Cook emphasized his desire to plug the leaks from within Apple. Yet, the vast amount of iPhone 5 information out on the Web — much of it seemingly legitimate and accurate — completely defeats the purpose of keeping products a secret.
Apple can’t respond to any of the alleged iPhone 5 photos and components out there — even acknowledging the phone’s existence is against company policy — so the best we can do is examine the sources that provide these photos and components to us, and figure out whether they’re legitimate.
