Apple Watch Series 3

Though always well written, Daring Fireball’s articles are always sprinkled with some fanboyism, I do miss a real critical and objective voice in his writing.

Because somehow the voice pretends it is.

But actually the glass is always a bit more than half full, no matter what.

Yes, but he is consistent. So you can always read his reviews and peg it down a notch if you regularly slightly disagree with him. I don't mind biases in reviewers if they're consistent in their takes.

I'd argue that writing is influential and can strengthens cognitive biases. If someone is poor and teetering on the edge of buying a luxury Apple watch they're going to be looking for that one shining article that goads them into doing it. When society accepts such influencers as role models and people to listen to / follow then we have a problem.
