In all honesty, I have no idea for what reason Apple hands out their phones for reviews but the most intriguing reviews of Apple devices are from Mossberg, Gruber and Anand in no particular order. I do give credit to The Verge in having the best video reviews on any given topic. I find that The Verge can get too verbose in reviews. I don't mean that it contains too many words but much are used in waste.
