9to5Mac was founded in 2007 by Seth Weintraub as an outlet dedicated to covering news, reviews, and analysis related to Apple Inc. Weintraub, a tech enthusiast, saw a niche in providing exclusive coverage of Apple products and operations, becoming one of the go-to sources for Apple-related news. The site is part of the larger 9to5 network, which includes 9to5Google and 9to5Toys, all currently owned by Weintraub. Operating predominantly online, 9to5Mac focuses exclusively on Apple-related news, giving readers in-depth coverage of new releases, software updates, corporate developments, and analysis of Apple's broader impact on the tech industry. Though they don't have a physical location, their influence is truly global, reaching readers wherever Apple devices are used. **One interesting fact**: The name "9to5Mac" is a playful twist on the idea of the traditional 9-to-5 workday, suggesting that they cover Apple news and updates round the clock, not just within normal working hours. This reflects their dedication to providing the latest updates and comprehensive coverage to their Apple-enthusiast readers.
