9to5Mac is a website covering news and rumors about Apple Inc. and its products. Founded by Seth Weintraub, the website is the oldest in Weintraub's 9to5 network of tech blogs, which also includes 9to5Google, 9to5Toys, DroneDJ, and Electrek.
History
9to5Mac was founded in 2007 by Seth Weintraub as an Apple news website initially focused on Macs in the enterprise. Gurman's scoops include uncovering iSlate.com and confirming a tablet was coming from Apple back in 2009. He’s also leaked news about Siri, iOS 7, the first Retina iMacs, and 2015's 12-inch MacBook before the company’s special events. In 2012, in a research paper entitled The Outreach of Digital Libraries: A Globalized Resource Network (Taipei) 9to5Mac was ranked as having the highest Jaccard index among Mac-related websites, including MacRumors. == Incidents ==
Incidents
In 2018, Guilherme Rambo paid a source around $500 in Bitcoin in exchange for leaked Apple company data. He wrote an article billed as an "exclusive" look at new features for the then-upcoming iPad Pro. This contradicted the rules of 9to5Mac. Later 9to5Mac updated the story, removing its content and replacing it with a disclaimer: "Update: This post has been removed due to ''9to5mac's'' sourcing policies." == References ==
