Unlike Apple and its team of "insiders" and their "leaks", which coincidentally seems to always be people who get free goods from Apple's marketing department.
This is a complete sham!

Apple does play favorites. If you are in Apple's good graces and play by their rules, their team will give you early access to you have more time to write in-depth reviews about their devices (But don't EVER think about prematurely releasing the story). If you get on their bad side, you're pretty much stuck and have to wait like normal people for launched product releases.

Due to Apple’s enormous success and many fanatical fans I don’t think it’s necessary for Apple to do things like that.

The problem with people (like you) is that they see things as 'black' or 'white' or 'good' or 'bad'. Any signs of the possibility of shades of grey are dismissed without second thought. Most if not all companies pay the media and do shady stuff under the radar while they can.
But just look at Gruber. While I still bothered to click the occasional Gruber link-bait I seem to recall he on several occasions mentioned equipment which he "had gotten from Apple". I'm assuming that means he didn't pay.
I'm sure I say stuff like that loads of places. Especially on the hipster SF blogs which for a period made this website almost unreadable.
