ZDNet:
You might have noticed in the run up to the new iPhone release (which turned out to be the iPhone 4S and not the iPhone 5) that certain tech outlets spent a lot of time telling you what Apple’s next iPhone was going to be like.
Turns out only Apple knew what the next iPhone was going to look like.
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes spends the next several paragraphs rounding up some of the biggest howlers posted in advance of yesterday’s announcement, including that Sprint was going to get an iPhone 5 exclusive, that Apple planned to release two phones, Facebook iPad app launch and more.
5$ CDN (Yo, Siri, what’s that in Birrs?) says those disappointed are in such a state more for feeling duped by rumour sites than the actual iPhone 5 no-show.
the funny thing is, (many of) the iphone 5 rumors are probably based on reality—designs for the iphone 5. just like the ipad 3 was going to get a retina display, not the ipad 2.
The irony of Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, doing this kills me…
