  • Apple will not buy Disney, no matter how often it hears that it will

    It is amazing how many times we have to re-run this article in response to some new thing that pops up, lol

  • Threads hasn't been alive for a day, and Twitter is already threatening to sue

    Not "at all"???
    "On the contrary" indicates you disagree with me.  So let's ponder what you wrote earlier in response to me...

    [...]

    We run negative stories about Apple all the time, whether that be bad keyboards, overheating laptops, workers rights, etc. We are not a PR arm of Apple. The main focus of our job here is to report accurate and up-to-date information on the largest company in the world. When we veer off that focus slightly, it's because the content is Apple adjacent and it affects our user base. We are also (as far as I know) the only Apple focused publication willing to stamp rumors with a score to help keep people informed. We like talking about crazy Apple rumors too, but the context of "this is real fun to talk about" vs "hey, this is probably real" is important. 

    We wrote that article, in large part, to capture search traffic because it surfaced as something people are looking for... a lot. As Mike said earlier, it has been on our list for a while. The Twitter saga itself has been ongoing for a while now. I do not see that as us pushing an agenda so much as responding to an existing demand. I understand you take issue with the tone of the piece, but I guess the question I have for you would be what you think our responsibility is to Twitter? Should we be sanitizing our content for an external company? That kinda spits in the face of a lot of journalistic ethics. Personally, I would rather run with the author's original intent and text intact than tell them to "clean it up" so as not to upset some people. Will we always get that balance right? no, we're human after all. If we whiffed on this one, we will take the lumps.

    All that said, I do not see anything that is factually incorrect inside this article. If you think there is something please let us know and we will address it.

  • Meta's Instagram soft-launches Threads to take on Twitter

    I see AppleInsider already has over 2,000 followers. Curious what you think of that?
    More please?

  • Plant-based marketing campaign uses Steve Jobs & faces potential conflict with Apple

    Hi.

    Some comments have been removed from this thread. As per general practice, we get the root and the stem, so apologies to anybody who made reasonable posts addressing the original. I should also apologize to people who reported earlier that it took so long for somebody here to see them. We're working on that 👍
