Is it just me or does anyone else feel irked by how detailed the leaks are for this year’s iPhone event? We have news outlets detailing the entire iPhone 17 series, down to the names (base, air, pro, pro max), color, camera system and ram - all from multiple disconnected leaks.

Is there even a point in watching this year’s iPhone event?

With the recent KT telecom leaks along with the case leaks, why does it feel like we know everything there is to know about the new iPhone lineup, except for the price.

Anyone else feel this way?
 
I have fun following the leaks! I’ve loved it this year. I’m still very excited to watch the announcement. I’ve already received my 17PM case!

We don't know weight, price, whether the Pros are getting a better display. I'm sure others things too.

Also, this year is no different from previous years. Not sure why it's bothering you now.

If you don't care to know about iPhone leaks, don't visit a site called MacRumors.
 
It doesn't bother me since you have to go out and search for leaked information anyways. Most of the 'general public' don't even realize there's an Apple event tomorrow until major news stories start popping up outside of fan/rumor sites like here.

It's nearly impossible for companies to keep things 100% secret with how accessible things are now in days.

The supply chain always knows. It’s been like that for years and years. You can’t decide to make a few hundred thousand units per day of a device and keep it a secret.
