ApplyBoard Launches in Germany, Opening Doors to Europe's Top Study Destination for International Students
This marks a major step in ApplyBoard's European expansion and introduces its first primarily non-English-speaking market, underscoring the company's commitment to supporting the diverse needs and goals of international students worldwide.
Germany is set to welcome more than 400,000 international students in 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing and most sought-after destinations in Europe. With this expansion, Germany joins ApplyBoard's existing list of top study-abroad destinations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland. ApplyBoard is also establishing partnerships with more than 10 leading German universities and colleges, with more institutions expected to join in the coming months.
'International students are shaping the future of global education,' says Meti Basiri, Co-founder & CEO of ApplyBoard. 'Our launch in Germany directly reflects what students are telling us-they want more choice, more affordable education, and better post-study opportunities. In fact, over 50% of students in our Fall 2024 Pulse Survey expressed strong interest in studying in Germany. This expansion is a major milestone toward our goal of supporting 20 global study destinations by 2030.'
Germany's appeal lies not just in its academic excellence, but also in its affordability and strong career pathways. According to ApplyBoard's Fall 2024 Recruitment Partner Pulse Survey, 72% of education counsellors identified Germany as the most cost-effective study destination within ApplyBoard's six countries. This, combined with post-study work options and access to globally respected degrees, makes Germany a top choice for students everywhere.
As global demand for international education continues to rise, ApplyBoard is helping students explore new possibilities. The company's platform simplifies the entire process, from exploring programs to submitting applications, making it easier for students from India to pursue a world-class education in Germany.
'Partnering with ApplyBoard opens the doors of German education to the world,' says Bryan Palmer, Interim Chief Commercial Officer EMENA at Global University Systems. 'The platform makes it easier for international students to apply and succeed, while helping institutions welcome more diverse and talented students who contribute greatly to academic communities.'
Since its founding in 2015, ApplyBoard has helped over 1.3 million students from more than 150 countries access educational opportunities through its network of 1,500+ institutions. The company's expansion into Germany reinforces its mission to eliminate barriers and expand access to education for students across the globe.

iPhone 17, Air, Pro and Pro Max: Launch timeline and specs leak ahead of Apple event
Apple's next flagship smartphone line-up, the iPhone 17 series, is expected to be officially unveiled on 9 September, according to a report by German The report, citing local mobile phone providers, claims that Apple will hold its next major launch event in line with its usual September timeline, a pattern the company has followed for several years. The iPhone 17 series is expected to include four models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. If the leaked schedule holds, pre-orders may open on 12 September, with deliveries and in-store sales likely to commence on 19 September. While Apple has not officially confirmed the date, the timing corresponds with earlier reports, including insights from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who had previously suggested that the event could fall between 8 and 12 September. In terms of hardware, the new iPhones are expected to feature upgraded internals. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are reported to be powered by the A19 chip, whereas the Pro models could be equipped with a higher-end A19 Pro chipset. Display sizes are also expected to vary: both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro may feature 6.3-inch screens, the iPhone 17 Air could sport a 6.5-inch display, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max may come with a 6.9-inch screen. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro are rumoured to be built with an aluminium frame, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is tipped to continue using a titanium frame, similar to its predecessor. A modest price increase is anticipated, with all models except the base iPhone 17 expected to cost approximately $50 more than last year's iPhone 16 series, translating to an increase of roughly ₹ 4,000 in the Indian market. In addition to the iPhone launch, Apple is also likely to announce the third generation of AirPods Pro and updated Apple Watch models during the same event. As with previous launches, Apple is expected to release further details in the weeks leading up to the event.

Zelenskyy speaks with Trump ahead of Putin ceasefire deadline
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that he had had a 'productive' conversation with his US counterpart Donald Trump on ending the war, sanctions on Russia and the finalisation of a US-Ukraine drone deal. Trump, who has signalled frustration with Vladimir Putin in recent weeks, has given the Russian president until August 8 to make peace in Ukraine or face tougher sanctions. 'President Trump is fully informed about Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities,' Zelenskyy wrote on X, referring to intensifying drone and missile attacks. Trump has threatened to hit Russia with new sanctions and impose 100% tariffs on countries that buy its oil, but sources close to the Kremlin told Reuters that Putin was unlikely to bow to the ultimatum. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was also ready to conclude a deal with the US on the purchase of Ukrainian drones that would amount to 'one of the strongest agreements'. He had earlier said the deal was worth around $30 billion. Ukraine is increasingly seeking financing and investment from its foreign partners to bolster its burgeoning domestic arms industry. Zelenskyy said Kyiv's European partners had so far pledged to buy more than $1 billion in US weapons for Ukraine as part of a new scheme.

Go beyond politics to work towards improving city's infrastructure, urges Ashwini Vaishnaw
Going beyond politics, Karnataka and the Union government should work together to improve Bengaluru's infrastructure, urged Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting and Electronics & Information Technology. He was delivering a virtual keynote address at the opening of SAP Labs' largest campus in India at Devanahalli here on Tuesday. He said the Union government was committed to working with the State government, despite political differences, to improve the infrastructure condition of the city. Rail connectivity The Minister further said that the government was keen to improve the transportation facility within the city and outside the city. 'We are planning to double the rail connectivity within the city and to the city from outside in the next three years,' he said. Earlier, inaugurating SAP Labs India Innovation Park, on 41 acres of land at Devanahalli, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, 'Both Airport Metro line and suburban rail were being fast tracked to be ready by 2029. He said he was committed to balancing, decentralising, and sustainable growth beyond the core of Bengaluru.' He said that his government was happy to partner with SAP Labs in areas like digital governance, smart cities, skilling, and sustainability to empower MSMEs, and enhance government services in the State. The new SAP facility represented the global enterprise's deep trust in Karnataka's capability, the Chief Minister said. Since 1998, SAP Labs India, headquartered in Bengaluru, has grown to become SAP's largest R&D facility outside Germany. 'As we advance in clean energy, sustainable mobility, and eco-conscious growth, investments like this demonstrate how economic progress and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand,' Mr. Siddaramaiah said. On education and skill development, he said, with an ambitious ₹2,500-crore programme supported by the World Bank, his government was strengthening first-grade colleges, establishing a Centre of Excellence, and enhancing R&D capabilities to build a skilled, future-ready workforce aligned with the demands of advanced technologies. Sindhu Gangadharan, managing director, SAP Labs India and head of customer innovation services, SAP said, 'India's rise as a global technology powerhouse is not just a story of scale — it's a story of ingenuity, resilience, and relentless innovation.' Thomas Saueressig, member of the executive board of SAP SE for Customer Services and Delivery said, 'It is a global innovation hub that will help our customers move from insight to action with enterprise-grade AI, data, and applications created right here in India.' Addressing the gathering Philipp Ackermann, German Ambassador to India, said, 'When SAP entered India in 1998, the country was future for the company and now, India a huge market for SAP.'
