Sonny Dickson

leaker · reporting researched from Aug 30, 2023 to Jun 7, 2026

We research the product details Dickson reports before companies announce them, then check what held up once there is an answer.

How the reporting has held up

13 of 14 right or partly right

Only details we could actually check are included here.

12 were right, 1 was partly right, and 1 was wrong.

12 Right1 Partly right1 Wrong
1 was a moving target

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.

5 are still open

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 14 reports we could check, not all 20. 5 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.

Products they have reported on

Ordered by how much they have reported on each product, never by score.

Every report, by product

20 reports, newest first under each product, each with its own record page.

How we check reportingWe score only factual, checkable claims published before an official announcement. Opinions, speculation, and anything the official announcement does not settle are left unscored.Everything on this page is counted from reporting we reviewed, with a link to where each was published.
