This is such lazy framing. What the team has done is great, but this article says they’ve beat Apple in a race Apple refused to run. Duh. Of course they won.

This is such lazy framing. What the team has done is great, but this article says they’ve beat Apple in a race Apple refused to run. Duh. Of course they won. The original blog post has tinges of this framing, which just reads sort of like dunking/hostility to me (for the reason above). This Ars article, and others I’ve seen, just run with it and make it the centerpiece. Apple isn’t trying. It’s not a race. So framing it like that is a disservice to the reader. Just celebrate the accomplishment. Write about the fact the team is doing so great. You don’t need to shove it into some incorrect narrative.
