I found the reading and especially watching experience to be sub par on the iphone. No way to pause/rewind the clips, no complete videos to review, just carefully prepared "analysis" for digestion in a certain way.

Don't complain to the NYT, go complain at Apple. It's Apple's fault that in mid-2017, there is STILL no way for inline videos in ordinary HTML5 web sites.

But, I admit, there's one single huge advantage: iOS devices are not hit with sometimes dozens of megabytes of traffic due to news sites auto-loading/playing videos, or worse, ad videos...


I can't speak to its behavior on iDevices, but regarding the complete video: As far as I can tell all the clips analyzed were from the video footage in the original NYT report[1] of the incident, which is linked in the very first paragraph of this article. Personally, I think this is a rather good example of reporting on something that perhaps entailed a bit of a judgement, but providing ample and well-documented evidence of how they reached that conclusion. If you disagree, you're more that welcome to go to the source material and come to a different conclusion.

I can't even read the thing. The scroll keeps snapping back to the top. (iOS 10, iPhone 5S)
