04Methodology

How we score the signal

Confidence is our editorial synthesis - not a probability guarantee.

What a confidence score means

Each score weighs three things: the quality of the sources behind a report, how many independent outlets corroborate it, and how closely it matches Apple’s historical release cadence. A high score means the reporting is strong and consistent. It is never a guarantee - Apple can always change course, and only an official announcement confirms anything.

We re-check the board on a rolling basis and update scores as new signals arrive. When Apple speaks, a rumor stops being a rumor.
