After months of rumors, we finally got to see what Apple has in store for its next-gen smartphones, smartwatches, and earbuds. The company hosted 1,000+ people in Cupertino on Tuesday to show off some "awe dropping" updates. (That awkward phrase was reportedly a nod to the iPhone Air.)

My Experience

I’m PCMag’s Managing Editor for Consumer Electronics content, overseeing an experienced team of reviewers and product testers. I’ve been covering technology for more than 25 years. Prior to PCMag, I worked at outlets such as Android Authority, Fortune, InformationWeek, and Phonescoop. 

The Technology I Use

My main tool for getting work done is a 14-inch MacBook Pro. It’s a silent and fast machine with a good keyboard and excellent battery life. When I’m not using my laptop, you can find me working (and relaxing) with an iPad Pro. I’ve come to rely on its 5G data connection when traveling, which makes it an essential part of my workflow. 

I consider myself an audiophile. That means my office and living room audio setups are total overkill, featuring advanced receivers, turntables, and Polk Audio speakers complete with subwoofers for the best possible sound, whether I’m listening to music or watching movies. My favorite earphones for private listening are the Sony WF-1000XM6.

When on the go, I typically use an iPhone 17 Pro Max for photos, but I don’t need much of an excuse to pull out my Sony mirrorless for high-resolution photography—especially when shooting sports.
