When you invite someone you clean up … I mean, what’s with the weird conspiracy mongering? That just makes no sense.<p>This is the most ordinary thing in the world, Apple just doesn’t normally do this, so it’s kinda surprising to see it from them.<p>Apple gives journalist access to their lab they don’t usually give anyone access to. Of fucking course they don’t have to pay anyone to write about that! Not a dime! They could probably get journalists line up for a chance of getting this access. Or they could charge an admission fee or something and still get people to write about it.<p>The assumption that Apple would have to pay anyone to write about their trip to the Apple lab is just mind-bogglingly out of this world. It’s so weird, I can hardly believe anyone would seriously consider holding such a view for any amount of time.
