Iskra Petrova is a news writer at PhoneArena, where she dedicates her time to maintaining and refreshing PhoneArena’s massive collection of device hubs, ensuring readers always have the latest leaked specs, industry rumors, and official details for upcoming devices at their fingertips.
Iskra joined PhoneArena in 2020, and before shifting to tech journalism, she spent three years working in technical support for Microsoft Exchange, which gave her a hands-on background in troubleshooting software infrastructure. She holds a Master’s Degree in Literature, which helps her break down dense, complicated tech specs into simple, readable guides.
When it comes to hardware, Izzy is a daily user of the
Apple ecosystem now. She takes on her writing and editing work on an M1 iMac and an M3 MacBook Air. Her pocket setup is focused on an iPhone 13 Pro Max, which she’d like to switch to the first foldable iPhone (hopefully soon), an Apple Watch and AirPods.
That said, she’s far from a one-brand purist – before committing to Apple, she was a longtime fan of Sony Xperia models, deeply appreciating their focus on mobile photography. She keeps an eye out on the latest
Samsung developments and the Galaxy Z Flip series is the one that gets her excited the most.
Her fascination with smartphone design and color trends naturally carries over from her work, but when she’s away from the keyboard, Izzy is an active painter who loves to read and take her Chihuahua out for long walks.
