MacRumors Apple news rumors and buyer’s guide since 2000

MacRumors is an independent American publication founded in 2000 that aggregates and reports breaking news, supply-chain leaks, software discoveries and regulatory filings related to Apple Inc. and its ecosystem of Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods and services.
An editorial team monitors FCC filings, Eurasian Economic Commission databases, Twitter posts from trusted analysts and upstream component suppliers, publishing verified stories within minutes of embargo lifts while flagging speculative reports with a color-coded rumor meter that shows confidence levels at a glance.
The front page refreshes multiple times per day and displays headlines, excerpt text and timestamp badges; clicking any item opens a full article that embeds high-resolution photos, 4 K video clips and source links for immediate fact checking.
A searchable Rumors archive lets readers trace the evolution of product lines such as Apple Silicon, Touch ID, Face ID or the rumored AR/VR headset, while an interactive Buyer's Guide calculates days-since-release and average refresh cycles for every current model, turning red when a purchase is ill-timed and green when an update is unlikely within 90 days.
The MacRumors Forums host 1.3 million registered members who share beta findings, DIY repair tips and benchmark results, making the community one of the largest Apple discussion boards on the internet; posts are moderated to maintain civility and accuracy.
Additional features include daily podcast episodes, a deals section that aggregates verified discounts on accessories, and a mobile app that sends push alerts for breaking stories without requiring an account.
With more than two decades of searchable archives, MacRumors remains a primary reference for journalists, investors and enthusiasts who need timely, credible intelligence on Apple’s roadmap.
