Bio:
Alex Brooks holds a keen interest in Apple the consumer electronics company and writers under the World of Apple brand that he founded in 2005. Whilst revelling in the constant stream of often-crazy Apple product rumours he also delves deeper into the data of Apple’s operations returning informational essays on past and future company trends.
Alex is also an avid politics student and has long ties to the Labour Party; with a keen interest in progressive politics he took an active role in the UK Alternative Vote referendum in 2011—campaigning with Labour Yes.
Alex lives in London and can be found exploring all that the city has to offer, though he’s most likely to be found in the pub.
