Jeremy Horwitz

Eight stories in 2019 Q3 marked Jeremy Horwitz’s recent coverage high point, centered on Apple, Google, device security, and new hardware.

Who they are

Jeremy Horwitz is a person entity whose coverage footprint is anchored in consumer-technology reporting and discussion, especially around Apple and the iPhone, with recurring connections to Google, Android, CNET, Mark Gurman, and Rene Ritchie. The stories associated with the entity range from Apple product plans and software releases to device-market data, platform policy, and mobile-chip developments.

The recent arc

Recent coverage peaked in 2019 Q3, when the associated stories included Apple’s public rebuttal to Google Project Zero’s account of iPhone attacks and the launch of Google’s Pixel 4. That period followed Apple-focused hardware and platform stories in early 2019, including Samsung bringing iTunes and AirPlay 2 to its TVs, reports of three planned iPhones, and Apple’s restoration of Google’s internal iOS apps after certificate misuse.

The tension

The central thread is the competitive and interdependent Apple–Google relationship: the coverage spans Google’s Project Zero security findings and Apple’s response, Google’s iOS certificate dispute, Android and Pixel hardware, and Apple’s iPhone ecosystem. It also tracks Apple’s broader platform control, from App Store enforcement involving a Hong Kong police-tracking app to how its media services reached Samsung televisions.

Why it matters

If this trajectory holds, the entity’s coverage remains useful as a lens on how Apple’s hardware, software, services, and policy choices intersect with Google’s security and mobile-platform influence. The later shift toward 5G, Qualcomm chips, iPhone 12 capabilities, and tablet-market data suggests that device infrastructure and market adoption may matter alongside headline product launches, though the reduced posting cadence after 2019 makes the direction uncertain.
