I don't see the use of "scandalous" or "fanboy" in the linked article (though no doubt they appear in the comments, just like yours). It's just a funny dig at a not-as-innovative-as-expected product release.

The real point is that the years of rapid evolution (and, by extension, platform differentiation) are behind us. After a few years where they weren't, phones are just phones again. Hell, you could hand a bunch of people a GSIII and tell them it was an iPhone 5 and get similarly hilarious results.

But screaming about hypocrisy is missing the point.
