Its a common trend in tech report to mention/place stories in the context of Apple, because they are the largest company in the world (by revenues), and so it drives page views. Even when Apple are only tangentially related to the story.
Perfect example of this right now are all the "Is Apple Pay causing fraud?" news stories. The fraud has nothing to do with Apple Pay. The fraud is happening because banks are doing a poor job verifying who someone is when they are trying to register/activate a credit card. But they all focus on Apple, despite being a minor aspect of the story, because it drives page views.
