Everytime Apple Inc. is all set to unveil a new phone, it becomes a huge news in the mobile market. In a matter of days, people possessing links with tech industry begin to flood media and social media with all kinds of rumours about the new launch. It may not be wrong to say, that most of the rumour are very very far from the actual product.
But, there are some stories which actually land up close to the actual product. Ever wondered, how does it happen? Who is behind it? Is it done for monetary benefits or some other benefits?
One of the big names in "rumours market" is the Australian, Sonny Dickson. He is the man behind many iPhone specifications, images and video leaks including the latest iPhone 5S.
Dickson claims, he has five to ten sources in China who buy Apple prototype parts directly from factory-line workers which are then sold for $250 - $500.
His sources send him photos and videos of the parts , which are posted in his name on websites and Youtube Channel, helping him generate ad revenue.
Dickson also claims that he and his suppliers have a secret website to discuss business. While he does not intend to hurt Apple's sentiments but other who are doing a similar job do it with the purpose of promoting fake Apple market.
