Reporter profile
Ben Schoon
journalist · 9to5Google · reporting researched from Sep 2, 2023 to Jul 31, 2026
We research the product details Schoon reports before companies announce them, then check what held up once there is an answer.
6 of 6 right or partly right
Only details we could actually check are included here.
5 were right, 1 was partly right, and 0 were wrong.
This described the plan accurately at the time, and the company then changed it. We count it as neither right nor wrong: calling it right would flatter the reporting, and calling it wrong would blame a reporter for a decision that was never theirs.
We have not counted these as right or wrong yet, because the product has not launched or the company has not answered the detail.
Counted over the 6 reports we could check, not all 12. 4 are things no company has answered, so nobody can be right or wrong about them yet. 1 is outside it because the plan itself moved.
