The leak: A pair of AirTags accessories from Nomad have leaked, according to Evan Blass (92.9% accurate).
Our take: Never thought about the possibility of AirTags helping you keep track of your glasses. Pretty cool!
The leak: Our first holistic look at AirTags has been shared by Jon Prosser (79.2% accurate).
Our take: This matches up with what Prosser has shared previously regarding AirTags, and considering he nailed the design of AirPods Max ahead of launch, I’d say these are spot on. Now we just continuing waiting for them to drop.
The latest: Apple is preparing to release a new accessory known as AirTags…but two highly-rated sources are split on when the circular devices will be revealed.
Our take: With both sources scoring above 85% accurate on our leaderboard, either one could very well be right about AirTags. The two things giving Gurman an edge here are a significantly longer track record and almost 3% better accuracy. At the same time, Prosser has been on a roll with dates lately.
The rumor: Apple is working on two different sizes for their upcoming AirTags accessory, according to L0vetodream (87.9% accurate).
Our take: Interesting. 2 sizes for AirTags? Can’t imagine why Apple would opt for two variants on such a simple product, but this has my attention.
The rumor: Apple will unveil the first-ever Mac with Apple Silicon inside in mid-November, according to Jon Prosser (85.2% accurate).
Our take: Prosser, whose credibility increased significantly following Apple’s last event, was spot-on when leaking the date for Apple’s October 13 event. So we’re likely just over a month away from the first ever Mac made with Apple Silicon!
The rumor: Apple is preparing to release AirTags and another significant update to iOS 14 before the end of the year, according to Jon Prosser (84.7% accurate).
Our take: In the past few months, Prosser has gotten a seriously good pulse on when new products are coming…and when they aren’t. The only argument against release AirTags now is that…a whole bunch of people sit and work from home all day so they’re not exactly losing their stuff. iOS 14.3 in November sounds about right, though, with iOS 14.1 and 14.2 likely dropping later this month.
The rumor: The iPhone 12, Apple Watch Series 6 and AirTags will be unveiled at an online Apple event in October, according to Macotakara (67.4%% accurate).
Our take: I think Macotakara is off on this one…at least for the Apple Watch Series 6. Stock is really low on Apple’s website currently, but it is very plausible that Apple waits to unveil AirTags until October (on stage at a proper event).
