MacRumors founder Arnold Kim joins us on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show to discuss some of the history of the website and the world of Apple news and rumors.
Arnold started
MacRumors as a hobby while studying for his final year of medical school in 2000. It has since grown to become most popular Apple news and rumor site on the internet, sporting round-the-clock news coverage, helpful
tutorials and a
buyer's guide, a
discussion forum with over 1.1 million members, and much more.
Arnold tells us about the website's beginning, his feelings about giving up his medical career to focus on Apple news, and growing
MacRumors over the years. He weighs up some of the biggest challenges and satisfying wins in the site's history.
We talk through some of the other interesting domains and websites Arnold has owned, the future of Apple news, introductions to the website, and the
MacRumors forums. We also discuss some of the origins
iPhone and iPhone 4 leaks and rumors, and whether
