The New Leaf & Core is Here!

Leaf and Core has a new look! It’s going to make you forget all about that old theme and move on.

The idea with this new design was to increase the amount of content you can reach with ease. Quick links in the menu to reviews, iPhone information, rumors, editorials, and more bring them closer than ever, while still maintaining the focus on new stories. Below a new slider with a featured image and headline from the latest news, you’ll find a grid of stories with a short article preview. Now there’s less scrolling to find what you’re looking for. On the top of the page, you’ll find our new condensed social buttons, as well as a search button (you’re welcome, mobile users). You can also find other categories and a second search bar on the sidebar to the right, which will display at the bottom of the page for mobile users.

Leaf and Core has one of the most comprehensive review processes on the web, including hands-on product reviews and meta reviews that delve into the details and nitty-gritty of products. Some products reviewed, such as the Utomic Edge Protectors for the iPhone X or the AccessPort Lightning to headphone adapter, just aren’t covered in this kind of detail anywhere else. And I treat every product, from a case to a new phone, like I’m trying to help you with the most important decision you’ll make. Detailed iPhone case reviews like this just aren’t found anywhere else. I’m not interested in lazy first impressions of products, and I don’t think you are either.

I’m also an individual editor, with no one to tell me I shouldn’t publish something (I won’t let the power go to my head). As a result, editorials are strictly factual, but also emotionally charged. I’m a software engineer and have been one for most of my life now, and I’ve always had a passion for journalism. This helps me bring tech news to you and break down complex issues like the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, net neutrality, or FBI’s attacks on Apple’s encryption.

I hope you like the new design of Leaf and Core, and I hope I can continue to bring you great news, stories, editorials, and, of course, reviews. Thanks for reading!
