They will both give Apple the benefit of the doubt while not doing the same for others. Apple flaws are unimportant, others flaws are crazy bad.
For instance, Gamecenter is just terrible on iOS. Looks tacky, barely works. How you treat that in a review is very revealing of your partisan positions. You could make it the centerpiece and how it shows that Apple is losing its touch in new features and is on a downward spiral. Or you could just ignore it.

- smackfu 14y agoYeah but it seems more like they are bemused by it thank actually seeing it as something to criticize Apple for. Plus there's the standard "Apple doesn't do web services well" thing that seems to excuse a lot.
- leefx 14y agoI agree with you but "Apple doesn't do web services well" should NOT be an excuse anymore. When they're using and promoting iCloud and Siri as much as they do, they're in the 'web services' game.
