As many as they feel like, clearly.

Here is the thing, its not just about iPhones.

Apple products have, since the early Mac, had a oddly special place in media production.

I have seen a national broadcaster decide to standardize their production chain on Apple hardware and software, when the rest of the nation is basically in Microsoft's pocket.

Frankly i think Apple would have been long dead, and both the iPod and iPhone a massive flop, if this connection had not existed.

Because with it, the journalists and whatsnot end up keeping an extra keen eye on Apple because anything from there affects them directly. So when a new product shows up, even outlets that usually do not mention tech news ends up writing an article about it.

The endless articles are nothing more than echo chamber journalism. We need more comparative analysis and critical evaluation of these devices. There's too much "assumption of awesome".
