Apple expected to announce retooled Apple News


Apple is expected to announce its retooled Apple News at an event on March 25. The product will include a batch of subscriptions in one monthly plan, CNBC reports. It also includes an Apple magazine service, which could be called Apple News Magazine. Apple is also expected to announce a new video service at the March 25 event.
Apple bought the Texture app, dubbed “Netflix for magazines,” last year. 
Some publishers are unhappy with Apple’s revenue sharing terms and will likely not be involved, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Developer Steve Troughton-Smith perused beta code on the project and found that subscribers may be able to download magazines for offline reading. According to Troughton-Smith on Twitter, the magazines will be PDF-based. He listed genres he found in the code: entertainment, fashion and style, food and cooking, health and fitness, home and gardening, kids and parenting, men’s lifestyle and news and politics.
