Another thing that annoys me is that reviewers are biased towards Apple devices. When they review Apple products they always gush about the good things and never highlight any of the limitations, make a note when it isn't much of an upgrade on the previous model or compare to devices from competitors. Yet when devices from other manufacturers are reviewed, they always do these things.

Journalists have to be careful. People really want Apple news so journalists won't burn their bridges with the company. It's a fine line they run and I'd say it's safer to stay on the positive side whereas they wouldn't give a damn about flaming some generic Chinese copy! This article may interest you.

This is nothing new and the reason why you find mostly positive iphone press the moment you cross them or step out of line you are blacklisted.

It's the same for all devices. You will find some websites are biased towards one more than another, it's nothing new.
Also I think the problem is a lot of journalists get swept up in the hype the excitement of a new device launch and can be a bit biased. |

Endgadget, CNET and the Verge seems to be totally pro Apple whilst conversely the reader comments are quite interesting as it is quite hefty in its pro Android makeup with just a few apple fans defending their corner. After the verdict, many Apple users swore to turn their back on apple because of the litigation.

I think Apple have bullied many of the major reporters to have next to no choice but to write pro-Apple articles....a very underhanded company to be honest....Google and Microsoft may have their faults, but so far they have been trying to compete fairly in the mobile space, unlike Apple. |
