This news is obviously something that nobody expected at this point in the movie, but the truth is that the king of leaks and rumors about Apple products put aside the site where he published everything related to Apple, 9to5mac. The truth is that the destination is not known or what Gurman plans to do right now, but from here we hope that everything will work out for him.
It is evident that many users will be now or at least this WWDC 2016 more calm in terms of the leaks of Mark, in the network and others will be more upset. But We are also not clear if he is going to found his own website or if he plans to continue with the rumors elsewhere. where they can pay him more, the truth is that he has not given reason for his departure and we doubt that he will.
This is the tweet from the head of 9to5mac announcing Gurman's departure:
Very sad to announce that @markgurman will no longer be writing for @9to5mac The departure has been a year in the making ...

Gurman himself was in charge of replying to the tweet thanking them for those more than 6 years together:
@llsethj @9to5mac Thank you for taking a chance on me 6+ years ago, I truly appreciate everything and am excited for our futures!

Do Apple rumors end here? No. Will they be less reliable now? Do not. The rumors will continue to exist and the leaks of Apple's hardware and software products will continue to exist. Gurman was one of those who was correct in almost all his last published articles and that will show, but the machinery of creating rumors and leaking news continues. It must also be said that Mark Gurman was not always correct in his predictions and obviously the rumors or leaks of the last two years have been the most successful, previously it was more difficult to find the key without a direct leak or Apple's oversight.
