Founder, President & Editor-in-chief
Jonathan Geller founded Boy Genius Report, now known as BGR, in 2006. It became the biggest mobile news destination in the world by the end of 2009, and BGR was acquired by leading digital media company PMC in April 2010.
Jonathan is President of the newly formed BGR Media, LLC., and Editor-in-chief of the BGR website.
What started as a side project at the age of 16, quickly transpired into 24-hour days and nights of sharing exclusive and breaking news about the mobile communications industry. BGR now reaches up to 100 million readers a month through the website, syndication partners, and additional channels.
Ever since I was young — probably too young — I have always been obsessed with the best. Not in a pretentious or snobbish way, but to recognize, acknowledge, and understand what quality and excellence means to a product, or service, or experience. How something is meticulously crafted, or the amount of care that can …
After Apple’s event this past Monday, I wrote up some high-level thoughts on the company’s announcements, and I focused on why I have so much faith in the underlying good Apple is doing. Contributions to the arts, environment, and technology that will have a lasting positive impact on all our lives down the road. But …
Let’s get right to it — I thought yesterday’s Apple event was a monumental success. Yes, it was light on some details like pricing and availability, but why would that stop Apple from hosting an event to announce these incredibly important new initiatives? Why let terrible tech reporters continue to spew hot takes when Apple …
There’s no way around it — the Marantz SR7012 is a complete powerhouse. There are 11 channels of processing, support for every multi-dimensional audio format like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and even the non-existent Auro-3D. The fantastic Marantz HEOS app support is built-in alongside Audyssey MultiEQ XT32, and a brand new update that enables Apple AirPlay …
Bentley’s Bentayga is a vehicle that certainly evokes a wide range of reactions. Is it a glorified Audi Q7? There’s Volkswagen hardware buttons on the hand-stitched leather hide steering wheel, after all. It shares the same platform with the new-generation Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and yes, the Audi Q7. And how about the styling? A …
As a Jura coffee machine owner on and off over the last 10 years or so, I was eager to give the company’s new ENA Micro 90 a go. While I used to use larger super-automatic models like the C9, I have gravitated to the ENA line out of footprint size. I don’t drink more …
Apple acquires an average of 15 to 20 companies a year, according to CEO Tim Cook. Of that number, we only hear about a couple, as most of these acquisitions or aqcui-hires are not consumer-facing, nor disclosed. However, we have exclusively learned that Apple is planning an interesting partnership and a potential acquisition of AgileBits, …
Apple is a company that usually isn’t first. Not with larger-screen smartphones. Not with the switch to OLED panels. Certainly not the first to a 12 megapixel camera. Nope, not edge-to-edge displays. Wireless charging? You’re dreaming. Widgets? It barely has them now. Removable storage? You know what… just writing that whole list of Apple’s late …
For those of you that have been following me for the past 10 years or so, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of Android. No, I am not a fan of Android. But I haven’t used an Android phone regularly enough to critique it in a long time. I turn on the phones that …
As most of you have probably heard, the high-end watch phone company Vertu recently went out of business. That’s actually way too elegant of a statement — after being sold three times since initially being offloaded by Nokia, the brand’s original owner, the company couldn’t meet obligations. It stiffed workers on two months of pay …
