Report claims that DJI will launch all three products within JulyDJI Osmo 360 will be the first product officially announcedDJI also rumored to be unveiling the DJI Mini 5 Pro drone imminentlyJuly could be a busy month for DJI – at least if one report is correct. Serial leaker Jasper Ellens claims that the company will be launching the DJI Osmo 360, DJI Osmo Nano and DJI Mic 3 all in the same month (but not all at the same time, interestingly enough).Writing at his website Drone XL, Ellens says he’s been informed by two separate sources that all three of these products will be released in July.First up, according to Ellens, will be the DJI Osmo 360 on July 15 2025, just five weeks away. The Osmo 360 is DJI’s long-rumored answer to the GoPro Max or Insta360 X series, a 360-degree camera designed to capture everything happening around it through the use of two ultra-wide camera units and automatic image stitching. It’s already been glimpsed in leaked images, and is rumored to have similar performance and specs to the Insta360 X5.Release dates leaked! We will first see the #Osmo360, the #nano one week later and last but not least the #Mic3. July will be a fun Osmo packed month! Cheers!https://t.co/AWVIpuZ8moJune 11, 2025I rate the X5 as currently the best 360 camera around, so if DJI can match or surpass it with its first ever 360 camera, I’d be extremely impressed.The second DJI camera apparently set for a July launch is the DJI Osmo Nano, which Ellens says is releasing on July 23 2025. This camera is rumored to be an ultra-compact action camera with a modular design. To date there have been no leaked images, but online rumors suggest it will be similar in many ways to the 2021-released DJI Action 2 rather than just a slimmed-down version of DJI’s more recent action cameras.We could be seeing a successor to the superb DJI Mic 2 (pictured) much sooner than we would have guessed. (Image credit: Future)Last but not least comes the DJI Mic 3 which, according to Ellens, will be launched on July 29 2025. There haven’t been many rumors about this follow-up to the excellent DJI Mic 2 (which only arrived last year and is in top spot of our best wireless mics guide), but an FCC filing document seemingly confirmed the Mic 3’s existence and hinted at a slight design refresh with a new display for the receiver unit. The DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini are hugely popular with content creators and integrate closely with many of DJI’s camera and drone products, so I’d expect a Mic 3 to make small improvements rather than engage in a major overhaul.And there could be even more DJI launches to comeThe above trio of products may not be the only imminent announcements for the consistently active DJI, either. The company is best known for its camera drones, and it’s been strongly rumored that the next flying machine to emerge from its secretive hangers will be the DJI Mini 5 Pro, potentially as soon as September 2025. That may be followed later in the year or in early 2026 by a DJI Avata 3 FPS drone and a DJI Neo 2 small entry-level drone.As always, we’ll bring you more news and rumors on upcoming DJI products when we get them.You might also likeGoPro Max 2 hit by further delays – 2025 is the earliest we'll see the 360-degree action camDJI Osmo Action 6 leaks just three months after the launch of the Action 5 ProBest 360 camera 2025: the finest choices for capturing every angle

Prime Video has quietly doubled the amount of advertising it shows paying customers. According to AdWeek, the initial ad load of two to three and a half minutes of ads per hour is now sitting at four to six minutes.I'm not surprised: Amazon told investors last year that it'd be ramping up the volume of ads, and introducing new ways to annoy you when you pause or browse. But as one of the subscribers who'll be seeing these ads, I'm really not sure if I'll stay and pay for a service that's getting worse, and that I expect will continue to get worse.The fact I'm in the UK is worth noting here. I've seen lots of reports saying "hey, you know, it's not as bad as US broadcast TV, amirite!". But I'm from a place where TV advertising is a lot more civilized. Sure, US viewers have long been exposed to 13 to 16 minutes of ads per hour. But here in the UK, the regulator says that the main broadcasters – including the commercial broadcasters ITV, STV and UTV – can only average seven minutes per hour.That means Amazon can still keep its promise to show fewer ads than the "linear TV" networks it competes with in the US while increasing the ad load to show vastly more advertising than UK broadcasters show. And those broadcasters don't charge me a monthly subscription to watch their ads.This isn't just a Scot complaining about US-style ad stuffing, although I am absolutely doing that. It's also about the problem of tech firms trying to make more money by making their products worse.Here's why streaming is broken(Image credit: Amazon)I've been writing about digital media, file sharing and streaming for a very long time, and what made streaming successful was simple: it was less of a pain than piracy. Sure, you could poke around The Pirate Bay or use a peer to peer app, but why bother when you had Netflix right there? One flat fee, tons of great things to watch, no ads: a no-brainer.But of course we don't just have Netflix now. What we have instead is endless streamers with stockholders who want growth, growth and more growth in a market that's oversaturated at a time where the cost of everything is soaring and people's incomes aren't.If you can't win over new customers, you can squeeze the ones you've got harder. And again and again that appears to be the option that tech firms prefer: password crackdowns and ads and price hikes and ads and less choice and ads and reduced video quality and ads and no Atmos without an upgrade and ads and ads on the ads on the ads on the ads.Here in the UK we have an airline people love to hate, Ryanair; the US equivalent is probably Spirit. But while the low-cost airlines are widely hated, we still use them because there's not really an alternative – so they can throw away the seats and make the baggage allowance the size of a Coke can and maybe start to fill the airplane with snakes and honey badgers and mustard gas mid-flight and we'll put up with it because there's no other option.But that's not true of streaming.There are lots of other options for viewers, albeit not with the exact same shows. But for the shows you can't get, there's piracy – often in full quality and HDR with Atmos and no ad breaks.I'm not here to argue the legality (it's illegal in most places) or the morality (it's bad) of piracy. But as someone who's been covering online media since the 1990s, who lived through the file sharing wars, I can promise you that what made piracy effectively disappear wasn't Metallica suing high schoolers or ISPs banning the odd kid. It was Spotify, and then it was Netflix.The best streaming services beat piracy because bingeing Breaking Bad on Netflix was less hassle and a much better experience than assembling the episodes via The Pirate Bay.Is that still true?And if it is, for how much longer?You may also likeI cut my streaming bills in half by ditching HBO Max for Hulu and Disney+ in June, and it's all because of these movies and shows I just watched the world's first ‘haptic’ trailer for Apple's F1 movie and my fingers are still tinglingThe Last of Us creators confirm exactly what I expected for season 3 of the hit HBO Max show

Kaspersky finds fake DeepSeek app being promoted through Google AdsThe app bundles legitimate software with malwareThe malware relays sensitive data to attacker-controlled serversCybersecurity researchers from Kaspersky have spotted a new malware distribution campaign abusing DeepSeek as a lure.In a report, the experts say unidentified hackers created a spoofed version of the DeepSeek-R1 website, on which they hosted Ollama or LM Studio, tools which enable users to run large language models (LLM) locally on the computer, without needing an internet connection.However the tools were bundled with a piece of malware called BrowserVenom, which configures web browsers to channel all traffic through the attackers’ server. As a result, any sensitive data, such as credentials, move through malicious servers first, where they can easily be picked up.BrowserVenomThe site was being advertised through Google Ads, and when victims clicked on the download button, the site first checks which operating system they are using, and if they’re on Windows - serves the malware.Other OS users were not targeted - but Windows users had to pass a CAPTCHA, after which they get served the malware.Kaspersky says that BrowserVenom bypasses Windows Defender’s protection “with a special algorithm”, but did not elaborate further. It did stress that the infection process requires admin privileges for the Windows user profile, and otherwise won’t even run.Most victims were located in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Egypt, Kaspersky added, but did not say how many people were affected.“While running large language models offline offers privacy benefits and reduces reliance on cloud services, it can also come with substantial risks if proper precautions aren’t taken, commented Kaspersky’s Security Researcher, Lisandro Ubiedo.“Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting the popularity of open-source AI tools by distributing malicious packages and fake installers that can covertly install keyloggers, cryptominers, or infostealers. These fake tools compromise a user’s sensitive data and pose a threat, particularly when users have downloaded them from unverified sources.”You might also likePopular AI program spoofed in phishing campaign spawning fake Microsoft Sharepoint loginsTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers

Apple Intelligence hasn't landed in the way Apple likely hoped it would, but that's not stopping the company from continuing to iterate on its suite of AI tools. During its WWDC 2025 conference on Monday, Apple announced a collection of new features for Apple Intelligence, starting with upgrades to Genmoji and Image Playground that will arrive alongside iOS 26 and the company's other updated operating systems.

In Messages, you'll be able to use Image Playground to generate colorful backgrounds for your group chats. At the same time, Apple has added integration with ChatGPT to the tool, meaning it can produce images in entirely new styles. As before, if you decide to use ChatGPT directly through your iPhone in this way, your information will only be shared with OpenAI if you provide permission.

Separately, Genmoji will allow users to combine two emoji from the Unicode library to create new characters. For example, you might merge the sloth and light bulb emoji if you want to poke fun at yourself for being slow to understand a joke.

Across Messages, FaceTime and its Phone app, Apple is bringing live translation to the mix. In Messages, the company's on-device AI models will translate a message into your recipient’s preferred language as you type. When they responded, each message will be instantly translated into your language. In FaceTime, you'll see live captions as the person you're chatting with speaks, and over a phone call, Apple Intelligence will generate a voiced translation.

Apple

Visual Intelligence is also in line for an upgrade. Now in addition to working with your iPhone's camera, the tool can scan what's on your screen. Like Genmoji, Visual Intelligence will also benefit from deeper integration with ChatGPT, allowing you to ask the chat bot questions about what you see. Alternatively, you can search Google, Etsy and other supported apps to find images or products that might be a visual match. And if the tool detects when you're looking at an event, iOS 26 will suggest you add a reminder to your calendar. Nifty that. If you want to access Visual Intelligence, all you need to do is press the same buttons you would to take a screenshot on your iPhone.

As expected, Apple is also making it possible for developers to use its on-device foundational model for their own apps. "With the Foundation Models framework, app developers will be able to build on Apple Intelligence to bring users new experiences that are intelligent, available when they’re offline, and that protect their privacy, using AI inference that is free of cost," the company said in its press release. Apple suggests an educational app like Kahoot! might use its on-device model to generate personalized quizzes for users. According to the company, the framework supports Swift, Apple's own coding language, and the model is as easy as writing three lines of code.

An upgraded Shortcuts app for both iOS and macOS is also on the way, with support for actions powered by Apple Intelligence. You'll be able to tap into either of the company's on-device or Private Cloud Compute model to generate responses that are part of whatever shortcut you want carried out. Apple suggests students might use this feature to create a shortcut that compares an audio transcript of a class lecture to notes they wrote on their own. Here again users can turn to ChatGPT if they want.

Apple

There are many other smaller enhancements enabled by upgrades Apple has made to its AI suite. Most notably, Apple Wallet will automatically summarize tracking details merchants and delivery carriers send to you so you can find them in one place.

A year since its debut at WWDC 2024, it's safe to say Apple Intelligence has failed to meet expectations. The smarter, more personal Siri that was the highlight of last year's presentation has yet to materialize. In fact, the company delayed the upgraded digital assistant in March, only saying at the time that it would arrive sometime in the coming year. Other parts of the suite may have shipped on time, but often didn't show the company's usual level of polish. For instance, notification summaries were quite buggy at launch, and Apple ended up reworking the messages to make it clearer they were generated by Apple Intelligence. With today's announcements, Apple still has a long way to go before it catches up to competitors like Google, but at least the company kept the focus on practical features.
