This is such a blow for MacRumors... I won't be taking them seriously anymore after this. They are complicit.

A website that's specialized into running unconfirmed rumors for clicks, shocking!

9to5mac writes clickbait headlines but MacRumors violates journalistic integrity. They always have been worse, there’s nothing new.

Me neither. So far all I see is a puny "[Updated]" title on the article with no apology or indication of what was updated.

You can’t take MacRumors seriously in that sense in general, they often distort their sources and barely do any journalistic due diligence. They are serviceable as a news feed for the sources they link to, and for the rumored-upcoming-features summary listicles.
