Why does a “Mac rumors” site have so many stories about iPods and iPhones?
Applerumors.com is an alias of this site, and more correctly describes the purpose of the site, to provide up-to-date news and rumors about Apple Inc. and its products. MacRumors was established before Apple expanded its business from computers to the digital music and mobile phone markets and added products and services as varied as Apple TV, the iTunes Store, and MobileMe. The reason the site is still called MacRumors is that the name is so well-known and “market branded” with millions of visitors every month. Our news and rumors will continue to reflect Apple’s business, wherever that takes us. We also cover stories of widespread interest to our regular readers, such as news and speculation about major software developers and third-party product and service vendors closely associated with Apple or competing with Apple.
