Matt Tate is a freelance journalist and contributor at iMore. Formerly Stuff Magazine’s news editor and based in the UK, he’s been writing about consumer tech for around eight years, with a particular focus on gaming (hardware and software), home entertainment and, of course, Apple gear. Matt’s fascination with Apple started in the early 2000s, when his friend turned up to their local skatepark with an original iPod loaded up with ska punk tunes in his pocket. He sadly never scraped enough pocket money together to get one of those, but he was a proud day one owner of the very first iPhone some years later, and near enough every one since. These days Matt follows mobile gaming closely, and is always looking for the latest Apple Arcade game that he can comfortably play using one hand.
For his sins, Matt is a huge Tottenham Hotspur fan and unfortunately spends a lot of his time scanning his published work for Spurs-related digs that may have been slyly inserted by editors. Otherwise, he’s often buying Lego sets he can no longer accommodate and trying to perfect his carbonara recipe. He can be found tweeting (mostly about football and video games) at @MattWTate.
