Usman Qureshi is a technology writer with iPhone in Canada who focuses on concrete changes in everyday digital tools, explaining how new features, retirements, and platform decisions affect the way people use their devices and services.
Software platforms and collaboration tools
Qureshi’s coverage stands out for its attention to the practical impact of updates to major software platforms, including collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams. In pieces like his report on Microsoft Teams retiring Together Mode, he breaks down what is changing inside the app, what functionality is going away or being replaced, and what that means for people who rely on these tools for work and communication. He writes in a straightforward, update-driven format that prioritises clarity over commentary, often anchoring stories in specific feature rollouts, interface changes, and timelines announced by the platform. His work in this area tends to bridge enterprise-branded products and everyday users, treating collaboration suites as consumer software that needs clear, jargon-free explanation.
Apple ecosystem and mobile devices
Writing for a publication dedicated to Apple and mobile technology, Qureshi regularly tracks developments across the wider Apple ecosystem. His stories follow operating system updates, new and revised features on iPhone and other Apple devices, and shifts in how Apple’s software and services are integrated into daily use. He often focuses on what a given change enables or disables for the user, rather than on industry speculation or corporate strategy. The result is coverage that reads as a running log of how Apple and its peers are reshaping the experience of using phones, tablets, and related hardware, with an emphasis on concrete capabilities over marketing language.
Services, subscriptions and digital lifestyle
Beyond core apps and devices, Qureshi also reports on the services and subscriptions that sit around them, from communication platforms to streaming and cloud-based tools. His work follows how these services evolve, whether through feature additions, removals like the discontinuation of Together Mode, or changes in access and packaging. Across these stories he keeps the focus on user experience: what changes on the screen, which options disappear, and how people may need to adjust their habits or settings as a result. This consistent attention to the lived reality of software and services, rather than to abstractions about the tech sector, gives his beat a clear through-line for readers interested in the day-to-day consequences of technology news.
