Take her recent piece on deleting your Telegram account—because yes, even if you’ve spent three years messaging your cousin about that one Thai restaurant you both swore was “just around the corner,” there comes a time when you realize your digital footprint is more cluttered than your actual kitchen drawer. Kimberly doesn’t just tell you how to do it; she does it with the dramatic flair of someone explaining how to survive a zombie apocalypse with only a toaster and a dream. “It’s like pruning a bonsai tree,” she writes, “but instead of a plant, it’s your emotional attachment to that group chat where people still argue about pineapple on pizza.” And honestly? She’s right. The moment you delete your account, you don’t just lose data—you lose the ghost of 2018 when you still believed “no one would ever know I liked anime.”
And then, just when you think she’s done being a tech therapist, she pivots to Apple Intelligence, and suddenly we’re all waiting for iOS 18 like it’s the final season of a show we’ve been obsessed with since high school. “Will Siri finally stop saying ‘I don’t know’ like a robot who’s seen too many tragic romances?” she asks, and we all nod in unison, tears in our eyes, because yes, Siri’s emotional detachment has been *hurting* us. But Kimberly doesn’t just complain—she delivers hope wrapped in sarcasm. She compares Apple Intelligence to a slow-burn romance: “It’s not instant. It’s not flashy. But when it finally says, ‘I’ve got you,’ you’ll know it’s real.” (Spoiler: it probably won’t say that. But we still cry.)
Then comes the Apple Watch Series 10. Not a product review—*a personal memoir*. “I put on my Apple Watch, hit play, and started dancing in the shower like I was auditioning for *Grease*,” she confesses, and suddenly we’re all there with her—wet, singing off-key, and slightly embarrassed because the watch *knows* you’re not a professional dancer. “It’s not about the music,” she writes. “It’s about the moment you realize your in-home dance party has become a full-blown performance art piece with a built-in heart rate monitor.” The irony? She’s right. We don’t buy smartwatches for fitness—we buy them for the emotional validation of a “Good job! You moved more than yesterday!”
Meta Connect 2024? Oh, it’s not just a conference—it’s a sci-fi movie in the making. Kimberly dives into Quest 3S and AR glasses with the energy of someone who just found out her dream job is actually *possible*. “We’re not just wearing glasses,” she says, “we’re wearing *future*.” And honestly, her writing makes you believe that one day, you’ll be walking down the street and your sunglasses will whisper, “Hey, your mom called. She wants to know why you haven’t answered her texts since 2016.” It’s equal parts hilarious and terrifying—and completely on brand.
And then—*oh, the AirPods 4 with ANC*—where she doesn’t just review sound quality, she reviews *the soul of noise cancellation*. “Putting ANC in open-ear earbuds is like trying to build a fortress out of tissue paper,” she jokes. “It’s a miracle. It’s also slightly terrifying.” She describes the experience like a secret agent mission: “You’re in a noisy coffee shop, and suddenly, silence descends—not because the world is quiet, but because your ears have been *protected* by the alchemy of engineering and sheer stubbornness.” You can almost *feel* the peace, the quiet, the sudden realization that maybe, just maybe, you’re not losing your mind after all.
And yes, she even tackles the eternal moon picture war between iPhone 16 Pro Max and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL—because nothing says “we’re still obsessed with space” like arguing over whether a phone can capture the moon better than a telescope. “Which phone is a star?” she asks, and then answers herself: “Both are, but only one is actually *in* space.” (Spoiler: neither are. But the banter is real.) Her tone? A mix of mock-seriousness and pure joy. You’re not reading tech news—you’re binge-watching a comedy special written by someone who genuinely loves gadgets and also loves laughing at herself.
In the end, Kimberly Gedeon isn’t just a tech writer—she’s your chaotic, witty, emotionally intelligent best friend who brings the same energy to a product review as she would to your birthday party. She doesn’t just inform; she *connects*. She makes you feel seen, even when you’re silently judging your phone for not understanding your sarcasm. And if you’re not laughing, crying, or suddenly rethinking your life choices by the end of her article, you might need to check your pulse—or at least your internet connection. Because if you’re not laughing at Kimberly’s words, you’re not living your best digital life. And trust me, you *want* to live that life.
