From the article, Bloomberg reported [2] that Apple would also do it in 2020, so they’re planning on being eventually right.

Also, if you'd actually read the article instead of dismissing it out of hand, you'd realise your big gotcha in your second citation is actually directly referenced in the article with details about exactly why they made that prediction. Frankly, there's no way even Apple knew whether they'd be shipping ARM macs in 2020 or 2021 back in April of 2018. In fact, this reporting actually backs up that reporting - given where we are now, it seems highly likely that Apple were planning to ship ARM macs in 2020 when that report was done in April 2018.
I'm happy reading their opinion pieces (by matt levine) but I see no reason to not dismiss their usual lets-see-if-we-are-right stuff.
Bloomberg sucks, but he’s still Mark.
Not really. The whole point of news outlets is to provide information for you to process. It makes no sense to leave out any objective reasoning from the task to jump into whitelisting or blacklist entire publications based on whether you were able to point any random issue somewhere in the past. Either the information is valid or accurate, or it isn't. It makes zero sense to claim that the work of author X should be blindly ignored just because you found an issue with a single piece written by author Y years ago.
If Bloomberg (or whomever) owned it, and shared their post mortem, I'd applaud their intellectual honesty.
That was a piece of bad reporting that claimed widely spread threats to international security
Funny I should run into you again, though. A couple days ago I replied to you when you were arguing Vox is reputable even though their reporting on COVID-19 was just flat out wrong.
Looks like you are pretty forgiving to news outlets, if not just gullible.
You can baselessly claim Vox's reporting is wrong until you're blue in the face, but I'm still going to read it and make up my own mind.
Of course. The thing is we obviously aren’t coming to the same conclusions and it’s hard for me to understand yours.
The same seems to go for you, but it appears that’s because you aren’t even trying to understand what I’m saying. You’re just baselessly calling my claims baseless.
This is the entire problem with your position on this, you're just deciding to ignore whole swathes of journalism on some pretence.
You didn’t directly state your conclusions but obviously they differ from mine.
It doesn’t matter how large they are if they factually published total bullshit. That’s enough for me to fundamentally distrust them and I do think you’re gullible if you don’t because they are “large and diverse and award winning”.
>Apple says it's false so Bloomberg sucks
Great logic, what's the point of journalism again?
You think Apple can pull their supply chain tomorrow out of China?
I don't believe Amazon would give Alibaba et al a better excuse to strong arm Chinese entrepreneurs on their platform because it is losing the battle in every single market Amazon has a real storefront.
