This is so true. These days is like even Publisher have to pick a side. (Is that because America's culture just like doing it this way? Much like their news report on political issues. Please dont take it as offense, i am genuinely wondering.)
Most site are either Pro Apple or Pro Droid. Bashing one of them is easier and attack on one side.
You can read the iPhone 5S article, on a Droid user switching to iPhone for weeks experience.
It perfectly capture the essence and explain the "reason" behind certain design decisions from Apple. You may not agree with it, hence you can choose a different platform. But there is certainly nothing wrong with the "decision" in itself. And people are just keep bashing Apple and bashing sake.
Being Apple, there must be a reason they do things in certain way. Be it cost? Performance? Battery Life etc? All these technical details Apple just wouldn't explain to you because Apple think you shouldn't care about the technical side of things and you should concentrate on the experience. But being geek as we are, Anandtech will go deep and dig out all the information they can, then try to explain it, explaining the "reason" behind all these decisions.
I mean the rivalry, especially the hate from FansDriod these days are getting insane. I dont see this with AMD and Intel. Heck even AMD fans would admit Intel have better products.
And in my view Anandtech reviews lots of Android phone as well. So i dont understand why people would label him as an Apple servant.

I live in America, but I haven't lived in any other countries, so I can't compare.
I see two reasons for everybody "picking sides" in America. The second one might be somewhat unique to America.
1. We have lots of advertising where one brand talks negatively about the other brand. People see these ads and think they have to "pick a side." But I think this is true everywhere in the world, right?
2. In America most people are stuck with their mobile phones for 2 years. The mobile phone providers mostly want to sign you up to 2-year contracts and pay for your phone slowly over those 2 years. There are ways around this but most people wind up stuck with their phones for 2 years and so sometimes they feel like they have to "defend" the phone they picked.
I think "picking sides" is dumb. I use Linux, OSX, and Windows pretty equally. I like my Android tablet and my iOS phone.
I also had Sega Genesis AND Super Nintendo as soon as I could afford both. I believe that if you are truly a fan of technology... why wouldn't you want to try/use them all? :)
