We have yet to receive official word on this

so would this be considered a "rumor"? thread title change please

[DreamOutLoud65]

Why should I? None of the media sources like engadget or BGR have it as a rumor. So if the mods want to change the title they can and I am fine with that.

The first line of the article you posted reads...

We have yet to receive official word on this

...which is just another way to say "We heard a rumor that"...so yes, rumor.

[redbeard]

Apparently it's not "official", but it's well sourced.

Thanks for posting this. I was really hoping for an announcement before this. I hope these 2 weeks fly by, lol.

I don't see any reason to change your thread either. There are plenty of other sites that are reporting it this way as well. Besides, people will open the link and draw their own conclusions from it anyway.

Even if it wasn't a rumor trolls would be on it like white on rice...

The feeling I get from all these comments I have been reading on TIPB lately is that people are really anxious bc they aren't getting their iPhone on the one year cycle Apple has gotten us accustomed to. This has lead to lashing out via the boards.

Does Apple know the ripple affect they have on forums such as this one??? I wonder...

Frankly, I really don't think Apple gives a dang. I'm sure they are enjoying all the hype that this continued silence is bringing. Btw, people aren't just anxious here on TiPb, tensions are running high on other Apple forums as well.
