As iMore's Senior Staff Writer, Tammy puts her audiophile credentials to good use and delivers detailed, in-depth reviews of the latest audio hardware that works with your Apple devices. With attention to HomeKit and other Apple standards, and with her MacBook Pro at her side, Tammy provides helpful buying advice as well as thought-provoking opinion pieces. She ran the deals side of iMore for some time, and knows exactly what kind of deals and prices you should be looking out for as well. Just don’t ask her what she thinks of the AirPods Max - you probably won’t like her answer.
With a Masters in screenwriting, her love for words and story puts her in a great place to deliver engaging guides. Her hard drive is filled to the brim with short stories and screenplays - most of which will never see the light of day again. When not sat in front of a MacBook, she’s either rearranging a continuously burgeoning action figure collection or racing a digital car around a virtual track. Tammy would like to replicate the shared cockpit scene from Top Gun, only with Lewis Hamilton in an F1 car. Lewis is yet to reply to her emails.
