Rumor Roundup: Honestly
Pegatron Reportedly Boosting iPhone 6 Production, Adding iPhone 6 Plus to Meet Strong Demand (MacRumors)
Source: Japanese website
Chance it's true: 30 percent
Reports like this are rather difficult to take seriously since they're never actually verified one way or the other. Even if more iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units hit the shelves, we can't connect the dots from that to this report, or to any similar report saying the same about Foxconn. It's all hearsay, but by all means, pretend it's real news, because there's definitely nowhere near enough of that out there right now.
Apple Expanding Enterprise Efforts, Developing Dedicated Sales Force (MacRumors)
Source: "People familiar with the matter"
Chance it's true: 50/50
On one hand, Apple's attitude toward the enterprise has always been a bit... unpredictable is probably the charitable way of putting it. On the other hand, there definitely is major money to be made in that space. On the third hand (which we just had installed), a handful of companies already have a very tight stranglehold on the enterprise market, so for Apple to even get its foot in the door is going to be a big challenge.
Apple rumored to turn huge downtown LA building into flagship store, office space (AppleInsider)
Source: "Anonymous tipster"
Chance it's true: Who knows
What can you really say about this one? It sounds mundane enough to be true, but "an anonymous tipster" sounds like the kind of source I wouldn't touch with a ten-metre barge pole. Speaking of terrible sources...
KGI: iPad Pro pushed back again to Q2 2015, Q1 to see under 10M iPads shipped (9to5 Mac)
Source: "Accurate" analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
Chance it's true: None
Everyone's favorite "accurate" analyst is back with yet more predictions of "delays" for Apple products that not only haven't been announced, they haven't even been confirmed to be in development outside of the rumormongering community.
Conveniently enough, with mass production of this mythical device now pushed into the second quarter of next year, that means at least six more months of endless tea-leaf reading nonsense about it. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
Apple Watch Chipmakers Said to Be Gearing Up Production (MacRumors)
Source: Digitimes
Chance it's true: None at all
When will you people ever learn to stop taking Digitimes seriously? Honestly.
