In this article, the term Apple rumors community refers to the community surrounding rumors concerning Apple Inc. and its products, including the Macintosh and iPod. In recent years, a subculture has developed around rumors about new products and services from Apple. The company enjoys a cult-like following for its Macintosh platform. This, combined with a very tight-lipped corporate policy about future products, has fostered this interest in the company's every move.
