Apple has launched Apple News+, a subscription service
that brings together over 300 magazines and digital publishers in the Apple
News app. Available in the U.S.
and Canada
The service
has free and paid components. The paid service costs $9.99 a month.
“At Hearst
Magazines, we are hyperfocused on creating consumer value through our storied
brands, high-quality content and great experiences,” said Troy Young, president
of Hearst Magazines. “Apple News+ amplifies our ability to do this in a premium
environment with a key audience, elevating the digital magazine experience for
millions of iPhone, iPad and Mac users.”
The Verge reports that, according to an internal
memo from Dow Jones, The Wall Street Journal will feature just “a specially
curated collection of general interest news from The Wall Street Journal” on Apple News+,
instead of the daily business news that’s the paper’s hallmark. The Verge
points out that WSJ is the app’s most high-profile newspaper addition.
The launch
comes on the heels of Apple’s recent buy of the Texture app.
