No Apple Television-Related Event Scheduled for Next Month

Wednesday February 13, 2013 10:32 am PST by Eric Slivka
Following today's report from Jefferies analyst Peter Misek claiming that Apple will be holding a television-related product event in March, perhaps to introduce developer tools for the Apple TV and a future television set lineup, The Loop's Jim Dalyrmple has weighed in with one of his typical one-word answers to refute the claim: "Nope."

Dalrymple has impeccable accuracy with such comments, so it appears certain that there is no such event planned by Apple.

That's the fastest a rumor has been countered in macrumors history.

I wish there was a quick way to reference how accurate these people actually are.


Dalrymple is at the top of the heap.

What a pompous jerk!


"Nope."

Seriously?

Someone has to check in their unjustified ego at the door.

Actually, I think it is fairly justified and not pompous at all. He seems to be one of the few that gets information directly from the source (Apple). In a world full of people making things up for page views, it is refreshing to see someone that only reports facts from a true source.

If you ever visit Jim's site, you'll notice that he doesn't dabble in rumors. Just straight reality.

I fail to understand why halfway-reputable rumor or news site would pay ANY attention to what ANALYSTS say. They have no insight. They are guessing, and they have never been right about anything. They are not right about their own names. They have no information.

How does that make him a pompous jerk? He simply said it wouldn't be happening. The guy knows a lot of information, so keeping his statements short and sweet are how he keeps quiet.

Everyone else is so concerned with plastering things like "people familiar with the matter", "our sources", "insiders tell us" to attempt to lend credibility to their claims. People are writing essays today around the web on the topic. Jim comes out with a "Nope." - gotta love it.

I don't buy it! Apple always announces there revolutionary products in Q1.


The iPhone came out in June. It was considered revolutionary.

Apple's got 100 people working on a magic watch nobody wants and can't be bothered to update an AppleTV everybody wants.
