My name is Florence Ion. I’m a technology journalist by trade and a chronically online millennial by nurture. I mainly cover the mobile world, like smartphones, wearables, Android, and iOS, but I can write about almost anything in the gadget space. (I’ve written about laptops, mechanical keyboards, the smart home, and streaming services and devices.)
Longtime tech journalist
I started my career in 2008. I interned at Mac|Life and Maximum PC. I worked on staff at Ars Technica, PC World, and Gizmodo. I have written for The Verge, Engadget, Tom’s Guide, Lifehacker, and USA Today.
Currently, I’m freelancing. I’m focused on podcasting and developing editorial for Android Faithful.
Podcasting
I love to podcast. You can listen to me on Android Faithful and Material on Relay, wherever you get your podcasts. (A special thank you to those who supported Gadgettes during its 32-episode run and Honestly, Tech‘s two-episode attempt.)
Lore
I collect Tamagotchi and have written extensively about my love for them. I am a massive fan of Beverly Hills, 90210, and have also written about it (and podcasted about it!).

I don’t post on X/Twitter, though my profile is still there. Pitch me here if you’re looking to connect about Android Faithful.
You can also find me on Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky.
