By your logic, Apple would never get bad press. And neither would any other brand, since all of them have fans. Both of which are obviously and provably false.

- alt227 2y agoCan you show some examples where Apple have got bad press in the mainstream media?
- latexr 2y agoThere’s a whole Wikipedia page just for criticism of Apple. Which itself links to other pages of more criticism. Take your pick, plenty of mainstream media articles listed there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Apple_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Apple_Inc.
- bmitc 2y agoBad press that never affects them somehow.
- latexr 2y agoOf course it does. They changed course several times specifically because of bad press. Like killing the CSAM device scanning, or reinstating Epic’s developer account, or not killing web apps in the EU, or apologising for the crushing ad, or, or, or. There is even a joke amongst Apple developers who all know that Apple’s claim of “don’t go to the press, it never helps” is a blatant lie as it’s the one thing that works.
- aleph_minus_one 2y ago> By your logic, Apple would never get bad press. Not "never", but it is indeed my observation that the press is much "nicer" in their reporting and much more "forgiving" to Apple than to other similar companies. In some circles, this observation already has become a running gag when the pen pusher is again too impressed of some Apple marketing.
