1. From my experience, there’s a pretty active hate brigade against apple and in media in general. Some from people who think there’s two sides of a platform war to be won. I’ve never understood why there is so much tribalism in absolutely everything. 2. Some of it comes from what gets clicks and upvotes. Nobody is going to click on an article saying “Everything is fine with the latest iPhone or MacBook”. But they will click on “Check out this thing I hate about the iPhone 15” for some reason.
