Editorial policy

Original and sourced

Everything we publish is written for iBuyReady. Facts such as specs, prices, dates and software versions link to their source, usually Apple's own pages. We don't copy other publications. When we rely on someone's report, we name and link them.

Hands-on vs. research-based

We tell you how we know.

• A hands-on review means we used the product.
• A research-based verdict is built from Apple's specs, published lab tests and owner reports. It says so at the top.

We never pretend to have tested something we haven't, and we don't publish fake or made-up reviews.

Rumours

Every rumour carries a red RUMOUR label, the original reporter, the date and our confidence rating. After Apple launches a product, we mark each claim confirmed or busted.

Dates

Every article shows the date it was published. When it changes meaningfully, it also shows the date it was updated. We never backdate content.

Images

Our pictures are original illustrations made for this site, not Apple's product photos. They may not show exact colours or details, so check Apple's site for those.

Independence

Advertisers and retailers can't buy coverage, review or edit our content, or change a score. We disclose affiliate links next to the link.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and record the fix on our corrections page. Spotted an error? Tell us.
