How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.

Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.

Coverage is 53% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 46%, much of it on the News & updates · Samsung storyline.
Corporate coverage — the stage ladder reflects how far this company's announced moves had progressed, not a verdict on the company.
