No its not! This tech bloggers reporters negative reviews impact on developers mind and developers lose their interest for developing apps for windows mobile! Basically negative marketing responsible for windows mobile failure
It is unfair to "blame the media". When I go to sites that talk about phones (be they tech or just news) I skip the articles that say "Nougat" this or "Siri" that. I go straight to the articles that show me, say, how my live tiles can be better used. People just go straight to what they feel is more familiar.
When iPhone ads first came out, they showed what the device can do. They showed full desktop mode browsing, or specific apps that did something you cared about back in the day, like Shazam. Those were 30-second product demos with a cute piano tune in the background. Straight to the point stuff.
At the time, the only other smartphone ad was the Palm. All they showed, as far as I recall, was someone in a green field talking about how she can barely keep her life together without her Palm, without actually showing how the Palm keeps her life together. The only exposure I had to Android back then was that, supposedly, Droid does.
A couple of years later when MS switched from the Enterprise oriented WM6.X to the more consumer aimed (and missed) WP7, they made their own set of ads. The one highlight I can remember is someone dropping his phone into a urinal because, apparently, he is spending too much time on the phone, and WP is going to alleviate that by helping you get to the point faster. Honey, you and I both know, you will
never get to the point faster if you pulled your phone out while at the urinal.
The only person who would like this type of "propaganda" is someone who is desperately looking for the names of alternatives to the iPhone. In the end, as far as the whole world is concerned, iPhone has the New York Times app, and then there is this thing with squares of different sizes all over.
