Christine Chan
Christine Romero-Chan was formerly a Senior Editor for iMore. She has been writing about technology, specifically Apple, for over a decade at a variety of websites. She is currently part of the Digital Trends team, and has been using Apple’s smartphone since the original iPhone back in 2007. While her main speciality is the iPhone, she also covers Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac when needed. Her specialty area is the iPhone, as that’s all she’s been using ever since receiving the original iPhone in 2008 as a birthday present, before dropping it on cement and shattering the screen. Thankfully, the iPhone 3G was coming out at the time, and thus began her annual tradition of buying a new iPhone, so she’s had them all and knows the ins and outs like the back of her hand. Surprisingly enough, the iPhone was also her very first Apple product — ever since the iPhone, she has also bought several different iterations of iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac over the years as well. With that in mind, Christine not only expertly covers iPhone, but she contributes with iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac coverage when needed too. Christine has been covering and writing about Apple for over the past decade after graduating from California State University Long Beach with a BA in Journalism and Mass Communications. Her previous work included AppAdvice, MacLife, MakeUseOf, and Lifehacker. Her previous work at these sites involved iOS app and game reviews, app roundups, how-to guides, and more. As a Southern California based journalist, Christine often enjoys going to Disneyland in Anaheim, California as a passholder, because she is obsessed with all things Disney, especially Star Wars. If she isn’t writing, you can probably find her over at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, just living her best life. Christine is also a big fan of (iced) coffee, food in general (especially sushi), mechanical keyboards, photography, animated series and films, The Beatles, and spending as much time with her new daughter as possible.
