Author blog about that.

Now somebody needs to post about this on Reddit, so The Verge can make an AI generated piece based on the post!

And charge you to read it. The Verge is mostly (all?) paywalled these days.

I'd say they used to be good, but then I'd be lying. I still remember when The Verge shit all over the Galaxy Note, then praised the iPhone 6 Plus to high heaven. Even as an Apple guy, the bias stunk.

I'm always surprised online journals still ask for subscriptions with a straight face for the quality they put out. Someone making shit up on Reddit is probably more factually correct.
