I now have more faith in the Apple Watch. The reviewers were negative about that, and they've been negative about this, too, which I actually think is a really great product.
Once again (just like with the Watch reviewers), these will be the ones Apple CHOSE to get pre-release models so they can have early reviews. Conceptually, these reviewers want to stay on Apple's good side so they are not dropped from such a list in the future.
AND, once again, I'm personally surprised that they have actually offered the negatives offered. I would expect hand-picked reviewers to be biased to the positive with only an innocuous negative or two (to appear "fair & balanced") that wouldn't really be an obstacle for purchases.
Conceptually, there's no agenda here (nor there with the Watch reviewers) against Apple. These were chosen. The more objective reviews will come AFTER the launch when reviewers not on Apple's pre-release list and even consumer reviewers can buy one and write whatever they really think.
