Type an em-dash on an iPhone
Typography and punctuation geeks rejoice! It's easy to type an em-dash on the iPhone's or iPod touch's virtual keyboard. To do so, tap the .?123 key to switch to the numeric keypad. Then touch and hold on the Hyphen key to reveal a pop-up strip showing an em-dash. Slide to the em-dash and release your finger.
Note that this basic trick works with many other keys on the virtual keyboard.

It's worth noting that this New York Times article is itself drawing criticism, both from Apple and other organizations.

I think the New York Times in this instance has gone for what will get the most readers, and that is, "controversy and Apple".
Also worth noting: The number of comments to this article as compared to the Booth Babes article.

I added this link mostly because it was starting to be a popular topic of discussion at Macworld | iWorld. But yes, controversy and Apple definitely garner attention.
I do think it is an important discussion to be had. I was being a bit sarcastic I suppose, Booth Babes garnering a much larger commenting response from readers. Also, valid to point out the questionable reporting of this issue by the New York Times, framing it as an Apple problem and not an industry wide issue, so I appreciate you linking to this.
