**Mark Gurman** is an American technology journalist born around 1994 who has become one of the world's leading reporters on Apple and consumer technology.[1] He is currently a managing editor for consumer technology at Bloomberg News, a position he assumed in 2025.[1] Gurman began his journalism career while in high school in Los Angeles, writing for the Apple news blog 9to5Mac starting in his sophomore year under the mentorship of founder Seth Weintraub.[1] His early breakthrough came in late 2009 when he discovered a domain registration for "islate.com" linked to Apple, which he correctly identified as evidence of an upcoming tablet that would become the iPad.[1] Throughout his time at 9to5Mac, he developed a reputation for accurate scoops, breaking news about products including the iPhone 5, Apple Watch, Siri integration, and Apple's Maps application.[2][5] After graduating from the University of Michigan School of Information in 2016, where he studied information science, Gurman joined Bloomberg News shortly thereafter.[1] At Bloomberg, his coverage expanded beyond Apple to encompass broader consumer technology, including products from Google, Amazon, Meta, and Samsung.[6] He has published in-depth investigative pieces on topics ranging from Apple's internal structure to the company's work on self-driving cars.[4] Gurman has also become a frequent television and radio commentator for Bloomberg and other networks. His achievements include being listed in the 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 and earning multiple reporting awards.[6] He currently ranks at the top of the Techmeme Leaderboard and is recognized as one of the world's best technology reporters.[6] Since 2025, Gurman has also served on the University of Michigan School of Information Advisory Board.[1] His work is distinguished by his ability to break major stories ahead of better-funded, more established news organizations, maintaining consistent accuracy in his predictions and reporting.
