A comment on A7: Apple's custom 64-bit silicon embarrassed the industry.

While I agree with the general thrust of the article that the 64bit A7 blindsided the rest of the industry, the way the article is written seems overly partisan. I find it kind of hard to cut through the cheerleading to get to the meat of the article.

I don't disagree. But it's to be expected from Apple Insider. It's a well-known fanboi blog, it's not journalism. It would be nice if people would stop posting links to it on HN and stick to more thoughtful publications.

The author has been regarded as a blowhard even within the Apple ecosystem for well over a decade. He started his rise to fame with the roughlydrafted blog.

I think it would be a lot quicker and easier to just start off the post with a meme of "the Virgin Samsung Android phone vs. the CHAD iPhone" and then to stop beating us with Apple cheerleading for paragraph after paragraph.

One thing I've found with this particular author is that there typically isn't much meat to get to. The articles tend to be a verbose celebration of Apple's greatness commingled with speculation.
