iFixit doesn’t get access to Apple hardware.

What you’re linking to proves the opposite of critical articles. Let’s show some titles you linked.

> The saga of Apple's bad butterfly MacBook keyboards is finally over

>iPad mini review (2021): The best small tablet gets a facelift

>Will Apple’s Mini LED MacBook Pros avoid the iPad Pro’s downsides?

>Apple says the iPad mini's 'jelly scrolling' problem is normal

So where are these critial articles?

If you don't cherry pick there are enough critical articles and critical comments in every review (You said there aren't in your first comment.

You are totally right they must have a giant blacklist if blacklisting is for you not to send demo units of unreleased products to every outlet. THE BLACKLIST IS GIGANTIC DUDE.

If you ever look for help call here The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): 1-800-950-6264

Your comment is not in the spirit of HN and I hope it is deleted. You are asserting someone has mental illness just because they are claiming something which is well known.

Gamers nexus, which is a top reviewer, have mentioned they dont get some products due to their critical take. It's not an unreasonable or outlandish view at all. Its ridiculous to be so aggressive against another person just to protect a brand. Do you perhaps work for or have shares in Apple? I cannot fathom why someone would be so desperate to protect the image of a billion dollar company otherwise.

No one is entitled to get early access to non released hardware. The outlets that do get access usually sign NDAs and they are not allowed to take demo units apart and you know what GAMERNEXUS also says in their videos that they don't sign these NDAs. If he had the chance to sign it it seems he decided to not do it not the other way around. The spirit of HN was that it's usually pretty good moderated against trolls and flamebaits like the guy above.
