I’m a little suspicious too. I mean, they’re famously secretive, but at the same time it seems like references to unreleased products very regularly surface in OS updates. You would think they’d have figured out a way to obfuscate these bits of code to keep analysts from digging into them and inferring things.
Exactly. I don't believe that these are accidental for a second. "Leaks" are classic hype building for upcoming events. The Instagram influencers and blogs are eating it up and pumping out free Apple promo like nobody's business.
