The Top Smartphones For 2015 

Latest Smartphone News

Sometimes rumors can be powerful.  Other times they can be damaging.  The key is to know what type of rumors are worth your time and those that are not worthy. 

A rumor about someone else is typically spiteful, hurtful and don't do much to help the individual. 

But a rumor that is about a service or thing, especially about improvements and upgrades, can be a good thing.  

The Apple vs Android Battle Is About To Heat Up

For example, Apple is rumored to be about to release a new iPhone.  That much is probably true.  And the rumor about it being a major upgrade like an iPhone 7, is generally positive.  It doesn't hurt the company or their fans, if the rumor proves to be false. 

So what does that mean for you, the consumer, looking to get a new iPhone?  

It means that you will have some outstanding new technology available soon.  Some of the reviews about the upgrades claim that the camera will have some major improvements, as well as a new iOS.  Another key feature that keeps coming up is that Apple may be getting rid of the Home button and they would use some integration technology for the fingerprint touch and interactive screen to replace the home button.  

Another example of technology rumors that are harmless is the rumor that Samsung will be releasing updates on the Galaxy S and Note series.  You can read those details here: The Top Smartphones For 2015

Why do these rumors matter while others don't? 

Because they help create a buzz about the brands, they pique consumer interest and generate momentum for their eventual releases.

Is The iPhone 7 Almost Here?

When does it make sense to believe rumors?  We all know that rumors are interesting, enticing and most of all, dangerous.

Why are they dangerous?

For one, they're easy to spread.  Like a virus that's spread by air, it can move from one host to another easily.

Another reason they can be dangerous is that they don't have any accountability. A person can spread a rumor and defer upward or laterally to another person that they heard it from.

They can make the claim that they "heard it" from someone else.  The ubiquitous some one else.

Another reason that rumors are dangerous is that they can heighten expectations beyond reality. And heightened expectations can hurt everyone.

From the person who now has the burden of expectations, to the purpose projecting those expectations to eventually be let down, they end up damaging both parties.

Sometimes however, rumors can be harmless and interesting.

Take for instance, the rumor that Apple will be releasing a new iPhone soon.  Whether it's called the iPhone 6s or iPhone 7 is to be seen, but what we do know is that it will released sometime in the fall of 2015.

Reported by MacWorld UK and others, the rumor is building momentum that Apple is about to do something interesting.  What exactly is still to be seen, but something is coming, that much is certain.

This is one time where rumors are harmless, unless your Apple's competitors.
