The article does not look credible. It has no source, no evidence whatsoever. Am I supposed to take the author's word as gospel?

  Yes, that's how reporting works. If the source is anonymous (as it is here), you ascribe credibility based on the author and news outlet.

    No, this is pretty unusual. It's not clear from the article if there even is any source at all. Is it based on guess work? Close reading of public statements and financials? An ex-employee with an axe to grind? No clue.

      It's fairly hidden inside the article but they do say "and that’s why we have heard from a source close to Apple that the iPad mini is being phased out."

  Well, obviously they can't name their source. BGR isn't some random dude's blog, though; they have a solid (if imperfect) record of publishing accurate Apple leaks.

    The thing is, if you read the full article, they don't even mention they have a source. They're just publishing their best guesses IMHO.
