I think reviewers who don't get excited about Apple products stop getting invited to new Apple products.
- MBCook 3y agoDavid Smith is not a reviewer. He’s been a longtime app developer with a huge number of apps. Apple has even featured a few of them. He may be best known for Pedometer++ and Widgetsmith which was the app that went viral on TikTok when widgets first came out for the iPhone.
- sfpotter 3y agoApple gave him an exclusive invitation to be one of the first people to try the device on. Do you think Apple is unaware that he has a popular blog and is a popular developer of software that runs on Apple products?
- MBCook 3y agoIt doesn’t surprise me that Apple would want to give a demo to someone who has consistently made high quality apps for their platforms, often on day 1 of a new platform. It’s a developer conference. Yes there are media there, but it’s also to court developers.
- Tagbert 3y agoMarco Arment was invited to WWDC as he is north a developer and operates a Mac focused blog. He is frequently very critical of Apple’s tools and actions. I don’t think Apple just invites ’yes men’
- Tagbert 3y ago"both" not "north" Looks like I could use that new AI autocorrect. :)
