Omar Correa
Founder/Editor In Chief
Location: San Antonio, Texas
A hardcore lover of all Apple products, Omar is a Graphic/Web Designer by day and a product reviewer by night. He created BuyMeAniPhone.com in August of 2007, because he wasn’t satisfied with other review sites that only displayed a few snap shots and a short paragraph about products. So he decided to create BMAi with a main focus on Video Product reviews. He oversees all of BMAi’s editorial content, focusing special attention on emerging technologies involving the iOS ecosystem of products.
When Omar isn’t working on the site or filming a review, he is spending time with his wife (Amie) and 3 daughters Eden, Aviv & Ania. He also enjoys playing basketball, mountain biking and playing his drums & guitar.
You can email Omar about Suggestions, Questions, Product Samples, Advertising and Promotions.

Fabian Povsic
Editor & Reviewer
Location: Hackettstown, New Jersey
As a child Fabian always had an interest for technology. He started off using PC’s as most people, but as he got older he began to grow an interest in Apple products. His first purchase was a G4 tower, and from there several different iBook’s, PowerBooks, MacBooks and so on down the line. Soon his home was filled with nothing but Apple devices. Fabian then found satisfaction in expressing his opinions with technology through video reviews on YouTube, to help others make educated purchasing decisions.
Most of Fabian’s family has now converted to Apple devices due to his recommendations and reviews. He strives to help them with any questions or issues they may have. When not working or reviewing technology, he enjoys spending time with his wife Lisa, and two daughters, Lianna and Kiara and son, Jayden.

Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Matt’s background in technology goes way back to when he was just a kid. He was always breaking and fixing what the devices he owned so he could better understand how it all worked. Since then he’s been fixing and tinkering with laptops, desktops, netbooks, tablets, and cell phones.
Since 2008 Matt has owned over 20 different cell phones. Not because he broke them but because he wanted to better understand why people choose one device over another. He is very knowledgeable with Android, Windows, and other devices but when it comes down to it, he’s an iPhone user at heart. The iPhone is what launched him into the YouTube world where he started his channel that covers a variety of technology but constantly touches base with iPhone news.
