Long-time Ars reader/subscriber here. They're a pretty source for English language tech news. I am particularly fond of their reporting on tech adjacent public policy issues (US centrism notwithstanding).

One area where they are weak is taking a critical look at Apple. They keep promoting the notion that Apple is somehow different.

They did report on Apple's censorship of steaming content on AI (due to the upcoming release of Apple intelligence) and critiques of the CCP, but beyond the initial reporting it's like nothing happened.

They all use Apple products, nothing wrong with that they have excellent products, but you would think that a tech news site would have at least one or two journalists who use Windows/Android/Linux full time.

It's almost as if they need a "hero company" in their lives and can't deal with the notion that all these tech megacorps are the same; sketchy, dishonest and corrupt.
