This article reads a bit too much like PR+. A main point is trying to argue that Apple is genius at framing "conversations" to manage how their brand is emotionally considered. It does this by applying similar techniques like throwing the "Apple does their own CPUs!" and their stack is so unique, but that's not true enough and pervasive across all products, subsystems, etc.

The battery is another place where story has nuance to it, but we sure aren't going to get any of that here.

Crap. I've been post-baited.
