Don't use them for price comparisons/where to buy Apple products. I was using them to try to find a good price on a MacBook Pro. Adorama was listed as the best price for various models, and I was considering buying through them. However, I fortunately thought to look up reviews of Adorama. They get TERRIBLE reviews on both trustpilot (1.9/5) and resellerratings (1/5), with nightmare story after nightmare story from customers. If Appleinsider is willing to list this disreputable merchant alongside reputable ones, and drive traffic to them by their price comparisons, then their where to buy guides really shouldn't be trusted. And, I'll avoid them in general in the future. Edit: I tried to add a link to one of the specific pages I'm referring to, but links aren't allowed in review. After I posted my original review, I got a contact from AppleInsider via TrustPilot: first asking me for "more details", even though my review was detailed and completely accurate. To respond to this directly, you have to give your contact details, and I did NOT want Appleinsider to have that info. I suspect that this was a first step in trying to get my review taken down - if you don't respond within 3 days, they can contact CS to "review" the review. Instead I complained to CS. Then: I got another contact from them claiming that my review was about some other website, when if you read my original review, the content makes quite clear that it's about AppleInsider. I think another step to try to get my review taken down. I complained to TrustPilot CS about this, but haven't heard back. Bottom line: an even stronger "stay away from AppleInsider!"

This site provides biased reviews of Apple products. I have to 2nd, 3rd...the Apple Fanboy comments. Their reviews grossly overate products and do not provide accurate pros AND cons. You cannot trust this site for honest reviews of Apple products or comparisons.

Been reading AppleInsider for years Been reading AppleInsider for years. I'll concur with the negative reviews -- it's a website for Apple fans, for sure. It is not unbiased, but the website is focused on one company, so of course they must like that company. That being said, they do call Apple out on its BS -- removing/misrepresenting features, anti-competitive actions, and over-pricing. All that being said, it's a good place to get aggregated news and especially rumors about upcoming products. My main constructive criticism for them would be to hire an editor (or a better one). Very few articles are published without at least one typo, which does not live up to the standard of many of higher-profile tech review sites. However, I keep coming back because the articles feel like they're written by everyday people, not by Silicon Valley hype beasts or Wall Street suits. The reviews and commentaries talk about how a somewhat average person will use a product. Thanks AI and I hope you stick around.

Nothing but biased Apple fanboys They publish misleading and false information about other companies' products in order to make Apple look better. Their "product comparisons" are a bad joke as they universally conclude that Apple is better in every way because they judge the merit of all other devices by how closely they resemble Apple's products and operating system. They automatically assume that Apple is the best product out there and that any deviation from Apple's design choices is a bad thing.

Apple fanboys club Literally skew anything that is apple related to "minor problems, great achievements!" And any non Apple products are "horrible glitches, slightly better but...price". Moderatly biased. Along with the fanboy reviews on this site.
