Reading that page gave me an acute case of adjectivitis. Just the first sentence contains 4 adjectives:

'Apple finally revealed its highly anticipated iOS 7 operating system, dramatically redesigned by legendary designer Jony Ive.'

Followed by:

'It’s stunning.'

I notice this writing - and speaking - style occurs frequently by those enamoured by Apple products, probably a result of listening to a few too many Jobs speeches. It is also rather distracting in that it makes it hard to take the message for granted as it comes across more like religious fervour than objective thought. May I suggest ditching the adjectives for a more toned-down style?

This really jumped out at me as I was looking through the article. I tried to staved off judgement because I really don't know much about the state of iOS and whether significant changes are coming with the next release. With that said, it definitely smacks of fanboyism. Can anyone comment on how warranted his hype is?
