Originally a die-hard Android enthusiast and TV script translator, Mahmoud Itani has been evaluating Apple hardware and software for the past decade. Prior to writing for Macworld, he spent several years shaping and leading the Apple section at XDA, establishing the topic’s authority with over a thousand articles. He also contributed hundreds of pieces to Android Authority’s Apple coverage.
Mahmoud now spends much of his time spelunking Apple’s latest prerelease OS builds, often being the first to spot and report on new features unnoticed by others. With a keen eye carefully monitoring the evolution of Apple’s ecosystem and thorough testing of its functions, he continues to clarify common misconceptions and deliver factual information to his readers.
Mahmoud’s current technological arsenal features an iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 9, MacBook Air M2, iPad Air M1, AirPods Pro 2, AirTag, Apple TV 4K 3, and HomePod Mini stereo pair. Outside of work, you’ll likely find him jogging at a park, swimming in open water, brainstorming at a coffeehouse, composing poetry on a rooftop, or merely lost in nature.
