9to5Mac is a website covering news and rumors about Apple Inc. and its products.[1] Founded by Seth Weintraub, the website is the oldest in Weintraub's 9to5 network of tech blogs,[citation needed] which also includes 9to5Google, 9to5Toys, DroneDJ, and Electrek.[2][3]

As one of many Apple news websites, the site drastically rose in traffic in its earlier years for publishing the first photos of the third-generation iPod Nano, the original iPod Touch, early images of the first iPhone, etc.[2] 9to5Mac has developed and implemented its affiliate program for freelance writers to earn from advertising banners being shown on their articles' pages.[1]
