About Tim Brookes

Tim has been covering technology for over 15 years, in that time spanning a broad range of topics from security to product reviews. He is especially focused on the Apple ecosystem, productivity, and consumer advice.

Earlier in his career Tim spent nearly a decade as a writer and eventually Apple section editor for MakeUseOf
