Mark Gurman has a source in Apple's supply chain. The supply chain is not the most reliable gauge. But it's all he has. So he uses it, combined with his own Apple-sense to determine the most likely outcome. This can be right, this can be wrong. When a product is ramping up for release, there are indicators in the supply chain. But if a product is delayed, like in the case of the new iPads that have been delayed multiple times, the supply chain doesn't help tell that story until things fail to materialize.

Since his accuracy rate is around 85% I am quite willing to base some of my purchase decisions on what he has said. Have been quite pleased with his accuracy given the obstacles he faces in getting correct/current information.
I've never heard of a worse way to make buying decisions.
the m4 was predicted way before that , it was funnily enough max tech who had a video out before Gurman on this subject
The chip identifier was pegged to M4 , the software version that was coming out with the device was also pegged to M4
Have you seen a picture of Gurman or heard him talk? That someone could certainly do better.
I've always found it rather distasteful to insult someone's appearance. I'm definitely not a Gurman fan, but that just seems unnecessary.
