Personally I like it. To me reads like the raw facts that a longform news site would then take and spin into some narrative while adding thousands of more words. I don't care what the author's opinions are, and I don't want to read their spin. I just want the news, and this seems like a reasonable way to do that!
Granted even in this outline there's some opinions expressed, like calling Apple 'famously tight lipped.' That's about as true as an opinion could be, but it's still an opinion. A way to just get the falsifiable facts in news, without interjecting opinion, spin, or "analysis" is my ideal vision of news. For instance here's [1] a NYTimes article from 1912, about the sinking of the Titanic. Outside of superfluous comments about the Titanic's wireless operator, it's just the perfect news article.
