AppleCare One: Features, benefits, and what it means for consumers
Apple on July 23 introduced AppleCare One, a new service plan designed to provide simple, flexible coverage for multiple Apple devices under a single subscription. For $19.99 per month, customers can protect up to three Apple products, with the option to add more devices at $5.99 per month each.
The new plan builds on the features of AppleCare+ and expands protection across devices including iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. US customers can sign up for AppleCare One starting tomorrow through their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or by visiting an Apple Store,

'At Apple, we're focused on creating and delivering exceptional experiences,' said Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. 'Built on the trusted foundation of AppleCare+, AppleCare One extends that same reliability and makes it easier than ever to protect the products you love and depend on.'
All-in-one coverage and support
AppleCare One offers all the benefits of AppleCare+, including unlimited accidental damage repairs for incidents like drops and spills, 24/7 priority access to Apple experts, certified repairs, and battery service. Notably, theft and loss coverage, previously limited to iPhone, has been expanded to include iPad and Apple Watch.
The plan's pricing structure remains the same regardless of which devices are enrolled. According to Apple, users could save up to $11 per month compared to purchasing separate AppleCare+ plans for each device.
Add existing devices, up to four years old
In a notable shift from Apple's previous policy, customers can now add eligible devices they already own, as long as they're in good working condition and up to four years old. This expands protection opportunities beyond the typical 60-day purchase window for AppleCare+.
Flexible management for a growing collection
AppleCare One also streamlines plan management. When a user trades in a covered product directly to Apple, the device is automatically removed from their plan and replaced with the new one. As a month-to-month subscription, customers can keep coverage going indefinitely and can adjust which devices are covered at any time.
Apple says AppleCare One is ideal for users with multiple Apple devices who want comprehensive protection, convenience, and predictable monthly costs, all from a brand they trust.

iPhone 17 Pro leak teases camera, design upgrades: Here's what we know
Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models could be making their boldest leap in camera innovation yet — if a new leak is to be believed. An anonymous source recently contacted MacRumors claiming to have insider knowledge of the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. The tipster, who says they're familiar with a commercial being produced for the upcoming device, shared a list of alleged features that have not been reported before. While MacRumors itself has not verified the claims, the potential changes are enough to get tech enthusiasts and mobile photography pros buzzing. Here's what's reportedly in the pipeline: 8× optical zoom is (allegedly) coming One of the biggest bombshells is a major upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro's telephoto lens. According to the tipster, the device will offer up to 8× optical zoom, up from the already-impressive 5× zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The standout feature here? A movable lens mechanism that allows continuous optical zoom across a range of focal lengths. If true, this could finally give iPhones a serious edge against Samsung's Galaxy S Ultra lineup in the zoom wars, and make the iPhone 17 Pro a genuine contender for the title of best smartphone camera. Pro camera app Also in the leak: Apple may be preparing an all-new pro camera app for both photo and video capture, directly aimed at creators who currently rely on third-party tools like Halide, Filmic Pro, or Kino. It's unclear whether this will be a standalone app exclusive to iPhone 17 Pro models, or a major update to Apple's existing Final Cut Camera app — which launched quietly for pros earlier this year. Either way, the tipster says Apple is aiming for a tool that offers more granular control over things like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and audio inputs. If you've ever wished for DSLR-level control in an iPhone camera app without needing to download third-party software, this could be a game-changer. New button? The leak also mentions a previously unrumored hardware addition: a second Camera Control button, this time placed on the top edge of the iPhone 17 Pro. This would join the Action Button and existing camera shortcut located on the bottom-right edge of the iPhone 16 models. Apple seems to be doubling down on tactile camera controls — possibly mirroring the ergonomics of traditional cameras, where a top-mounted shutter button and dial setup is common. New look? Beyond the camera features, the source reiterated two previously rumoured design changes: a copper-like color option, said to give the phone a premium, vintage-meets-modern aesthetic, and a centred Apple logo on the back, which is a subtle but deliberate visual shake-up, possibly tied to the new camera layout. Although here's a catch: all of this information comes from an anonymous tipster with no proven track record. While the details are certainly plausible — and some even match earlier reports — they haven't been corroborated by more established leakers like Mark Gurman or Ming-Chi Kuo. In other words, caution is advised. Apple's hardware plans are notoriously secretive, and while commercials are often created months ahead of launch, leaks from production houses aren't always accurate. Still, with the iPhone 17 Pro expected to mark a major design refresh and focus heavily on camera features, these rumours line up with Apple's typical strategy upgrades. If even half of these predictions come true, the iPhone 17 Pro could become the go-to smartphone for serious mobile photographers and creators.

Cannes Lions 2025: Evidence-based, coalition-built, transparent and human
Cannes Lions 2025 felt less like a festival of fireworks and more like a stress test of truth. Serving on the PR jury, I spent long nights debating whether ideas deserved a Lion once the gloss was stripped away. That perspective shaped seven lessons I carried home, and each one speaks to where brand storytelling is heading next. Being believed is now worth more than being seen. On day one, Apple's Tor Myhren warned that AI will not save advertising unless humans raise the standard. Later, our jury dropped a high-gloss submission the moment its impact numbers proved to be guesses. The work that climbed to Gold arrived with proof the public would recognise as real. In an era of deepfakes and automated hype, authority must be earned the hard way. Authority grows fastest when you bring credible partners on board. Dove's 'Real Beauty' campaign won the Grand Prix in the Glass: The Lion for Change category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2025 because NGOs, creators and media figures all shared ownership of the message. India's Lucky Yatra, this year's PR Grand Prix, paired Indian Railways with broadcasters and a lottery mechanic that turned humble train tickets into national news. The biggest spend wasn't media; it was relationship-building. Everyone praises diversity but few show it working in real time. Our jury did. We came from five continents and every corner of communications, so each case was cross-examined for cultural nuance, ethical red flags and lived experience I could never see alone. Early debates felt slower until they didn't. By the time we reached the Grand Prix shortlist, the work had survived every angle of attack. When the chair of the jury called for a show of hands – 10 hands rose in 10 seconds. Many voices didn't create gridlock; they created confidence. If you want fast, decisive calls, fill the room with people who see the world differently. Creators underscored the same truth. In government, you never put a spokesperson on stage without a clear brief. The rule now applies when you hand your story to an influencer. The Social and Creator Grand Prix, 'Vaseline Verified', proved it. TikTok dermatology voices received the brand's lab results up front and freedom to film in their own style – sometimes playful and sometimes clinical. Safe hacks earned a 'Verified' stamp while dangerous myths were debunked by the same creators. Because the message arrived through trusted voices, followers believed it instantly and spread it widely. Credibility that you can't buy was amplified to millions in minutes. The same demand for openness echoed on the sustainability stage. Ad Net Zero used Cannes to publish its latest carbon-measurement framework and called on brands to release emissions data as openly as financials. Gulf regulators and mega-projects are moving toward full carbon disclosure in supplier tenders; marketing briefs won't lag far behind, so this 'radical transparency' will reach our tender desks sooner than many expect. Elsewhere, analysts conceded that a single universal metric for marketing is fantasy; brands must embrace multiple measures and show their working. Sunlight is expanding, and anything opaque –whether carbon footprint, fees or research methods – will soon look suspect. The Design for Behavioural Change Lion also earned the spotlight. Lucky Yatra used the chance to win a trophy, showing how it altered commuter habits. Another winner, 'Caption With Intention', rewired video captions so deaf viewers could feel suspense, humour and irony. Ideas that change what people do – not just what they remember – now set the creative bar. Pure PR success came from ideas born for conversation, not media spend. Nordea Bank's 'Parental Leave Mortgage' let parents pause repayments during leave and spread through press coverage without a hero film. In the jury room we pressed every contender with three questions: Is it culturally urgent? Can it move without paid support? Will it survive fact-checking tomorrow? Campaigns that cleared that bar soared; those that relied on rented attention faded. So, what should marketers in our region take from Cannes? First, prove impact before you proclaim it, because audiences now inspect the footnotes. Second, invite unlikely partners – creators, regulators, even rivals – because coalitions unlock reach that money cannot buy. Third, design ideas to shift behaviour, not merely impressions; when habits change, headlines follow. Judging Cannes was a reminder that creativity and public trust are now inseparable. Ideas succeed when they act like good policy: evidence-based, coalition-built, transparent and human. That was the standard we applied at two in the morning in the jury room, and it is the same standard audiences apply in daylight.
