The real takeaway here is that tech reviewers, YouTubers, bloggers, and journalists have all been pulling punches with Apple for a loooong time to hang on to access. Anyone who walks out of WWDC with an interview or hands-on should really be assumed to be compromised and untrustworthy. It's been true for a long time, but now that Apple's just another mediocre profit-at-all-costs cutthroat tech giant, it must not go unspoken. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/29/no-apple-executives-talk-show-live/

I remember when Vision Pro came out a year ago and all these tech reviewers gushed about it, because the many flaws and lack of day one use cases for it, the long term future it suggested was interesting.

A few months later, those same reviewers all (correctly) roasted the failed Humane and Rabbit AI gadgets for over-reliance on future promises, and that there was little to do with it at launch.

All of these products have been dismal failures, but reviewers pulled punches for only one of them.
