    So I would love to see some investigative journalism here to find out what’s really going on. How could analysts and pundits be so wrong? Sure, they’re usually wrong about Apple but this is stupendously embarrassing for every prognosticator out there. Even 9to5Mac bought into the story. Recent articles all but confirmed that there were massive production issues with the iPhone X. Were the analysts played like a fiddle by Apple? Did the tech media actively try to scuttle the launch? Is Apple lying about demand? Apple’s guidance for Q1 is off the charts. If they’re lying about demand then they’re lying about their guidance and that would mean big trouble.

    My personal opinion is that the tech media willingly bought into the ‘failure’ meme and were played like a fiddle by Apple.

    What’s your opinion?
    Prejudice against Apple and its design values are super common in tech circles. And the more products Apple sells, the more people love their products, the noisier the doomsayers get. If Apple was a bit player, not competitive, or not loved, the naysayers wouldn't even bother talking about Apple. Consider it a sign that Apple is doing something right, to the dismay of the haters.

    Tech tear-down porn. How many new iPhones are lost to people who profit from destroying them to promote their websites, YouTube channels (amateur "drop tests") and the like?

    I’m not sure why Apple thought early reviews/previews were a good idea.  There are UI changes with this phone and new gestures and other things to get used to. I’d much rather read a review from someone who’s used the phone as their daily driver for a week or so. Sometimes it takes a while to lear a new gesture and have it become second nature. When I first used the 3D Touch app switcher I didn’t think I was going to like it. After a while it became my preferred method of app switching and when Apple removed it in betas of iOS 11 I missed it a lot, My guess is that will be the case with the X too so less time with the device and then going straight to YouTube to talk about it isn’t good PR.
    If Apple didn't seed early review units with select journalists just before the Nov 3 launch, then come Nov 3, the internet (social media, YouTube, podcasts, blogs) will be filled with "early reviews" from people who just unboxed their iPhone X.
