I know that Gruber is pro Apple. But what I like about his comments is that he has got his facts straight. Like in real hard numbers and statistics. Whereas the NYTs writing about Apple in the last years smells like hit pieces and/or click bait.

For another totally unbalanced and very hard to dismiss comment (because he's got his facts straight) I'll quote Mr. Dilgers latest piece:

“Unsurprisingly, the article's authors Matt Richtel and Brian X. Chen have to admit early on that Cook "declined to be interviewed for this article." It's not hard to understand why.

Richtel may be best known for his bizarre hit piece castigating Apple for working to sell iPads to schools in 2011.

Chen even more famously skewered Apple for even attempting to sell its iPhone in Japan, where he assured his Wired readers that the nation hated it. He even crafted quotes from people in Japan saying how "lame" the iPhone was, even if those quotes were actually completely fabricated.

Then of course, there's the New York Times itself, the publication Richtel and Chen are currently writing for, which printed its "iEconomy" series exclusively blaming Apple for everything wrong in the industry.”
