And yet you don’t see this with any other competitor. Even Intel, who kept dropping the ball year after year. In contrast, Apple has been consistently realistic about their performance figures, and outperforming all their direct competitors for about 10 years.

It’s just a knee jerk reaction to about anything related to Apple. There is a lot to dislike about them, to be sure, but these reactions to independent benchmarks are just blind cynicism. It’s cool to be a contrarian, and it is making the Internet a much worse place.
