FAQ

Questions I get a lot

What do you cover here?

Rumours, leaks and early reports across technology, entertainment and products — phones, AI, games, OTT, EVs, drones and sneakers — with notes on where a report comes from and what is still unconfirmed.

Are rumours treated as confirmed news?

No. Rumours are rumours until officially confirmed. I distinguish reported information from confirmed announcements so you can weigh sources carefully.

How do you decide what to publish?

I prioritise reports that are specific, timely and useful — product specs, launch windows, pricing signals, casting or release chatter — and skip vague hype without a clear claim to evaluate.

Where do the stories come from?

A mix of public reporting, tip-offs, filings, retail signals and community chatter. When a claim is second-hand or speculative, I say so instead of dressing it up as fact.

How often is the site updated?

Whenever something worth tracking surfaces. There is no fixed daily quota — quiet days stay quiet; busy weeks get more posts across categories.

Can I tip a rumour or leak?

Yes. Use the contact page to send leads, screenshots or early reports. I do not publish tipster identities without permission.

How do I stay updated?
