I specifically want you to know and I'm specifically telling you because you don't care. Let me know if you continue not caring so I can tell you again :lol2:

By all means. In fact, go ahead and give me a mention while you're at it so I can personally return the favor and beg you to stay.

That def looks different than the earlier 'spy' photos. The source says the company built 30 black and 10 white prototypes, but this one is red. Hmmmm.

Try to follow along. The red one is the prototype made with the old Ram 1500. The new test mule is the black one seen one the streets of Detroit.

:snoopfacepalm:

Can't tell if you are serious or not but, if so, well first of all I feel sorry for you, but other than that the red truck is the original concept truck and further down in the article are the spy shots of a black truck that looks precisely nothing like the original red concept truck.

I get what you're saying and my reply stands. I think you're the one not paying attention. You think Apple doesn't leak any of this information? It happens all the time, it generates buzz and talking points.

You couldn't be more wrong about Apple. Jobs was ruthless toward anyone caught leaking, suppliers and employees alike. Not only would you get yourself fired, you'd get your ass sued off too.

Jobs was the master of startling the audience with unexpected surprises and is what made Apple launches such a must-watch event.

That magic has been lost in the Cook era. Now there is no point in watching launches because everyone knows everything ahead of time. But without a doubt, Apple doesn't leak anything on purpose. The company is just too big to keep secrets now. But most of the leaks only come out weeks before the launch while Apple is often working on secret projects two years from production. (well, there is some speculation they leaked the headphone jack thing so it wouldn't distract from the product announcement.)

There's plenty of doubt. Apple doubles down on product secrecy and rumors double. Yeah, there's defiantly doubt. And then there's the sheer accuracy of the reports. One of us is way off, the evidence suggests it's not me.

Okay, since you are so fluent in Apple rumors, tell me what this year's phone will be like? Will it be a similar design? An all-new design? Square edges like the new iPad? Will they offer an SE sized phone this year? Will they stick with two OLED phones and one lower cost LCD this year, or do something else? Will we get a foldable this year to compete with Samsung and Huawei? What is goint to be the next all-new product Apple launches?

LOL, you don't know shit even though many of Apple engineers have finished working on this year's new phone and already moved on to 2020's design.

All the credible leaks come from suppliers as they start producing phones in the weeks before they go on sale. Everything else is just guessing and most of it turns out to be wrong. Remember everyone convinced Apple was going to make a TV? Still waiting on that one.
