Transparency & Editorial Standards

Apple Feature Logo

At Apple Feature (News Feature PR LLC), integrity and authenticity guide every client story we publish.

Our mission is to spotlight professionals and brands doing remarkable work — through verified, well-written editorial features distributed via our official approved Apple News channel.

1. Our Relationship with Apple News

We are an independent publisher officially operating through Apple's News Publisher Program.

That means we maintain an officially verified Apple News channel where we distribute editorial content we produce for our clients.

We are not owned or operated by Apple Inc., but our channel and articles appear within the Apple News ecosystem under Apple News' formatting, visibility and publishing standards. As an official partner, we adhere strictly to Apple News high editorial guidelines.

2. Editorial Process

Each feature follows a multi-step editorial process designed to uphold quality, accuracy, and clarity.

Discovery & Qualification

Clients complete a short onboarding form and interview.

Story Development

Our editorial team crafts a professional narrative emphasizing truth, achievements, and verifiable information.

Client Review

Clients have the opportunity to review and request edits before publication.

Final Publication

Approved features are published through our Apple News channel and distributed across our partner network when applicable.

This process ensures that every story reflects factual accuracy, authenticity, and readability.

3. Accuracy & Fact-Checking

We rely on the information clients provide during onboarding and interviews. Before publication:

  • Claims of awards, certifications, or achievements must be supported by evidence.
  • We edit for clarity, tone, and alignment with Apple News guidelines.
  • We reserve the right to adjust headlines or phrasing for readability, grammar, and engagement — without altering the underlying facts.
  • If an error is ever identified post-publication, we review it promptly and may issue a corrected version of the article.

4. Sponsored vs Editorial Content

All Apple Feature placements are editorial in nature, not paid advertisements.

Clients cover production and distribution costs associated with creating and submitting their feature to our channel, but editorial approval and standards remain under our control to maintain credibility and compliance with Apple News policies.

We do not sell ad inventory, banner space, or "pay-for-quotes" placements. Each story is individually developed, reviewed, and published through the same editorial workflow.

5. Client Rights & Revisions

Clients may:

  • Review and request reasonable edits before publication.
  • Request factual corrections post-publication if inaccuracies are proven.
  • Share, link, and republish excerpts of their feature for marketing purposes (with attribution).

However, final editorial discretion always rests with Apple Feature to ensure compliance with publishing guidelines.

6. Ethical Guidelines

We adhere to the following core principles:

Accuracy

Every published statement must be truthful and verifiable.

Transparency

Our relationship with clients and Apple News is clearly disclosed.

Integrity

We avoid deceptive or exaggerated claims.

Respect

We represent individuals and organizations fairly, without sensationalism.

7. Complaints & Corrections

If you believe a published feature contains an error, please contact us.
