9to5Mac - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American tech news website

9to5Mac is a website covering news and rumors about Apple Inc. and its products.[1] Founded by Seth Weintraub, the website is the oldest in Weintraub's 9to5 network of tech blogs,[2] which also includes 9to5Google, 9to5Toys, DroneDJ, and Electrek.[3][4]

As one of many Apple news websites, the site drastically rose in traffic in its earlier years for publishing the first photos of the third-generation iPod Nano, the original iPod Touch, early images of the first iPhone, etc.[3] 9to5Mac has developed and implemented its affiliate program for freelance writers to earn from advertising banners being shown on their articles' pages.[1]

9to5Mac was founded in 2007 by Seth Weintraub as an Apple news website initially focused on Macs in the enterprise.[3] In June 2016, Mark Gurman, one of the world's most influential Apple reporters, left 9to5Mac for Bloomberg News. He wrote articles for 9to5Mac for seven years.[5][6] Gurman's scoops include uncovering iSlate.com and confirming a tablet was coming from Apple back in 2009. He’s also leaked news about Siri, iOS 7, the first Retina iMacs, and 2015's 12-inch MacBook before the company’s special events.[7]

In 2012, in a research paper entitled The Outreach of Digital Libraries: A Globalized Resource Network (Taipei) 9to5Mac was ranked as having the highest Jaccard index among Mac-related websites, including MacRumors.[8]

In 2018, Guilherme Rambo paid a source around $500 in Bitcoin in exchange for leaked Apple company data.[9] He wrote an article billed as an "exclusive" look at new features for the then-upcoming iPad Pro.[10] This contradicted the rules of 9to5Mac. Later 9to5Mac updated the story, removing its content and replacing it with a disclaimer: "Update: This post has been removed due to 9to5mac's sourcing policies."[11]
