Apple’s products have a long history of creating waves well ahead of launch due to rumour and speculation.

Key Points: 
  • Apple’s products have a long history of creating waves well ahead of launch due to rumour and speculation.
  • Other rumours about the device – some of which turned out to be correct – discussed possible features and the timing of its forthcoming release.
  • A lack of solid information fuelled ambiguity, in that case, and the same has happened with Apple’s Vision Pro headset.
  • In the case of a firm like Apple, product innovation rumours can act as provisional knowledge.

Gossip that moves markets

    • Leaks are often frowned upon by companies because, as is well-documented by research, it can move markets.
    • It soon fell again when Apple announced the headset’s hefty US$3,499 (£2,729) price tag, however.
    • This can help generate related contributions from other organisations – app developers in the case of Apple, for example.
    • Also, it helps employees and managers in other firms – competitors or producers of accompanying products and services – to react quickly.

Ambiguity fuels rumours

    • Under such conditions, rumours can help managers making technical design decisions to tap into discussions and expectations of producers and consumers.
    • The role of ambiguity and relative lack of information during the tech product innovation process encourages people to devour rumours to attain new knowledge, however provisional it may be.
