I've always wondered what it is that Anand Lal Shimpi, Brian Klug (also formerly Anandtech) and (now) Chris Ziegler (formerly The Verge) do at Apple (or did if they've moved on). At first I thought they might be involved in PR and media outreach but that doesn't seem to be the case. Now I'd guess maybe they just painstakingly review devices just like they did before except now they do internal only reviews of Apple's prototypes and maybe the competition.

My hypothesis: Apple News curation

I do wonder if he is _still_ at Apple after whatever was happening was made public (and possibly known to Apple as well)

He took a job at Apple and didn't actually quit at The Verge. Just stopped communicating with them but kept collecting a check.

Apparently there was about a month where he actively worked for both, too.
