I’ve covered the personal technology beat for more than two decades at places like Gartner, Jupiter Research and Altimeter Group. I’ve also had the fun of contributing my $.02 on the topic at Computerworld, Engadget, Macworld, SlashGear and now iMore.

CES is no longer the show that defines the new year in tech. Apple is no longer the company that starts the year off with a bang. But, what if the two came together?
Well, it's that time of the year again. Time to enjoy the warmth of an OLED display on an iPhone X while a Yule log burns on 4K displays and shimmer with holiday cheer.
Well, actually a few more than 10. Misleading headline. Sorry.
There’s a lot at stake. A tech site with the latest scoop makes a lot of money in page views. A worker who smuggles out an enclosure can make millions for a case vendor that has the specs ahead of time.
Though WWDC is mainly for developers, there was a lot there for end users as well. Here are Michael Gartenberg's thoughts on what he thought was the news of the day.

iMore resident analyst Michael Gartenberg takes a look at Apple's 2016 — and what the company can improve on for next year.
I don't usually do predictions but hey, why not start now?
Looking at Apple in the context of what was means missing out on everything that will be. Here's why!
