This site is very Apple friendly and assumes everyone has a macbook, iphone, iwatch, ipad and ivision with all the subscription services available.

After all why use anything else! :)

PS I will keep using the archive links

Probably because a lot of people have the Apple One subscription tier that gets you Apple News+.

Which gets you access to a lot of pay walled media.

So a direct link is useful to those that have Apple News+.

So that’s why, and I appreciate the Apple News link :-)
