Oliver has written about Apple and the wider technology business for more than a decade with bylines on TechRadar, PC Mag, CNET, Inverse, and many more. He has also been published in print for Macworld.
Having grown up using PCs and spending far too much money on graphics cards and (literally) flashy RAM, Oliver switched to the Mac with a G5 iMac and hasn't looked back. Since then he's seen the growth of the smartphone world, backed by iPhone, and new product categories come and go.
Passionate about apps and the developer ecosystem, Oliver is always keen to try out the hottest new things to hit the App Store across all manner of categories. At AppleInsider, Oliver covers news, opinion, reviews, and more.
