The dogs of Forbes’ contributor network have found a new bone to gnaw.
- June 9: Apple Secrets Exposed As Insider Models 2019 iPhone Designs
- June 24: New iPhone 11 Leak Confirms Disappointing Lack Of Radical Changes
- July 1: Stunning Apple Leak Confirms Ugly New iPhone
- July 4: iPhone Exclusive: Apple’s New Design Confirmed
The weirdest thing about this breathless series of leaks, scoops and confirmations is that it was interrupted Tuesday by a Forbes report that suggested maybe the contributors were barking up the, you know, wrong tree.
From senior contributor Gordon Kelly on July 2:
Is Apple about to switch things up? With the company’s ugly 2019 iPhone redesign now a stone-cold certainty, a genuinely surprising report reveals Apple is designing a very different iPhone which millions will want.

I remember my initial hesitancy with embracing the vertical protuberance of the camera lens on my purchasing of the iPhone X and my same reluctance with the notch on the face of the device. Stylistic changes over time often have a way of growing on you or perhaps we grow to accept them. I must say that the iPhone X has become my favorite of all my iPhones owned over the years with its stylistic design and function. I love it! It is the very best iPhone I have ever owned. I suspect folk purchasing the iPhone XI or 11 will feel the same once they start using the device. Personally I always prefer “thin” (I miss Jony and Steve), but Apple is sidelining style for substance. We are seeing Apple do this with the discontinuance of the butterfly mechanism keyboard in its MacBooks.
Forbes is a truly wretched site, a place for the dumb and dumber.

He also doesn’t take kindly to criticism:

Lol….I was going to say that as well but at this stage, Malcolm’s got vertigo from spinning all these years Forbes has been wretched.
How much influence does Forbes have among investors? Apparently not much.
