Magic 8-Ball Says: iPhone/iTablet Rumor round-up


Pipar Jaffary is at it again. These companies love to talk about Apple, and predict what’s going to happen in the future. They do this a lot – and its rarely accurate. Doesn’t stop them from coming up with stuff off the top of their heads though. It seems like these analysts, who admittedly used to matter, now simply scrape the rumor sites and cobble together a list of whatever is the popular rumor of the moment.

Since they’re busy pulling things out of their butts, I thought I’d consult a REAL source on some of the most burning questions from apple rumor mongerdom – THE MAGIC 8-BALL.

I’ve consulted the 8-Ball once before, and got some decent results.

All of these are actual results from a Magic 8-Ball when I asked it these questions – so you KNOW the answers must be accurate.

Will the 3G iPhone come out in June?
Magic 8-Ball: My Sources Say No.

Will there be a sub-$200 iPhone in the next 3 months?
Magic 8-Ball: Concentrate And Ask Again
Magic 8-Ball: Outlook Not So Good

Will Apple release an iTablet device in 2008?
Magic 8-Ball: Don’t Count on it.

Will Apple release a touchscreen Mac in 2008?
Magic 8-Ball: My sources say no.

Will Apple rumor sites continue to talk about these products in 2009 anyway?
Magic 8-Ball: Yes

Does Pipar Jaffary have any credibility with Apple predictions what-so-ever?
Magic 8-Ball: Don’t count on it.

  1. no offense michael, and far be it from me to question the knowledge of the mighty 8-Ball, but still… those answers seem suspiciously similar to what i would expect you to predict on your own.

    I understand your skeptisim, but those are, in fact, the results the Magic 8-Ball came up with. I was just as surprised as you.

    That 8-Ball is a freakin’ genius.
