Quite the contrary, Above Avalon is a relentless Apple bull and one of their many apologists.

Good analysis overall, but it's typically with some variation of "this is greatest" with some hint at a greater big idea just around the corner.

I was unaware and, in the future, I will keep more of an open mind with their articles...
The linked Macbook Pro analysis is a good example of being bullish yet critical of the company. https://www.aboveavalon.com/notes/2016/11/4/apple-is-placing...
Genuinely curious: what does an Apple apologist apologize for?
Are you unfamiliar with the term 'apologist?

"apologist: a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial."

I had encountered the term, but didn't know it's precise meaning. Hence my intuitive interpretation of its meaning.

But now I know, thanks!

Apologist has been extended to mean anyone who will come to their defense, not only apologize.
