What is he even complaining about? Sounds like he's upset that other people aren't completely absorbed by the coverage about one app of many on a brand new product which is other wise really sweet. I don't think light shining through a jack, or rattling, or scuffing on a few phones is really a big deal, and Apple said the would replace them, period, done. The purple haze will be fixed in the next software update.
We are talk about millions and millions of phones and a fever of blood thirsty bloggers looking for anything, ANYTHING wrong. No company can live up to this kind of scrutiny. The same thing happen when the iPhone 4 came out, and the iPhone 4s, and these are very very nice phones, even today. Now this guy is upset because a few bloggers looked past "maps" for one second to see the rest of the product, and it's really beautiful! It's really sweet, and you know what? Maps in the 3D in NYC is really nice! Easy to use, fast, vector graphics, etc, and the phone has turn by turn now, because Apple dumped Google. So Maps database will take some work, but it's crowdsource by a huge population.
I thought that was pretty clear. He thinks that "Apple briefs these guys, but instead of having the balls to do it on the record, Apple feeds them some spin with the condition that they will write it up while attributing their info to sources who are familiar with the situation."
Too bad that there is no way to know if he is right if it is just his opinion. Doesn't sound too far fetched, though.
