Well, I kind of agreed with Joe on this point. I don't spend a lot of time out there trolling around for reports on other cell phone manufacturers, so my view is mostly skewed by what I see on this list, and therefore I see a lot more news concerning Apple than I do other cell phone makers. Obviously, it's more news worthy to jump on someone on top or pile on someone who's on the bottom, and I don't think there's much we can do about it, and I don't think complaining is going to change much. It's also interesting how you'll have people complain how unfair and one sided the news media is, but some of those same people are making the same kind of unfair generalizations about the news media itself.
I know Apple has the perception of being to top cell phone maker in the world, and I think this is true emotionally, but I read the other day that there are more Android devices in the world than IOS devices and that Samsung has recently passed up Nokia as the number one cell phone maker in the world. I don't see the original post below, but I seem to recall that Ford and fuel lines were mentioned, which doesn't make sense to me at all. When I think of how many stories I've seen regarding Toyota, Ford, Audi, Firestone and so on, I don't think Apple is being singled out here at all.
