Just want to add that Anandtech has really stepped it up this year with great iPhone coverage. It's a nice contrast to countless other speculation/rumor articles with no valuable insight and "controversy = page hits!" articles that just fan the flames of the "Apple vs. Everyone Else" arguments that saturate tech blogs.
I totally agree. AnandTech is one of the very few remaining tech websites that are still really about the technology itself, instead of all the other aspects that ignite flamewars and hating everywhere else.
The Verge isn't too bad either if you ignore the comments section, but everything else is just like you said, speculation/rumor sites that value page hits over actually writing something informative.
