Apple's new product announcements: Rumor mill had it mostly right

What turned out to be false was that last minute rumor showing a higher resolution screen (488ppi for the iPhone 6s and 460ppi for the iPhone 6s Plus). The jury is still out on whether Apple doubled the amount of RAM in both phones to 2GB, although this isn't information that Apple usually makes privy. Among the items that no one caught was the True Tone selfie flash embedded in the front display.
The tipsters had the Apple iPad Pro pretty much called early. Back in 2013, several analysts predicted that such a device was coming. The four speakers were something we saw on alleged iPad Pro casings going back last year, and the 12.9-inch screen size was rumored just as far back. Kudos again to KGI Securities Ming Chi-Kuo, who predicted that Apple would release a stylus for the iPad Pro all the way back in January. No one knew, however, that it would be called the Apple Pencil. And while it seems overlooked, the Apple iPad mini 4 was expected to be unveiled today, which of course it was. Hope you didn't blink or else you would have missed it.
Overall, we'd say that the rumor mill did a great job at early and accurately predicting what we would see today from Apple. Now, what will be the first prediction about the Apple iPhone 7?
