Apple News+ subscription gives you over 300 publications for $9.99 per month
Apple's big event today seems to be all about subscription services. Alongside Arcade, its game subscription offering, the company also unveiled Apple News+. This is a subscription that lets you access over 300 popular magazines, as well as "leading newspapers and digital publishers" for $9.99 per month.
The content is presented in a "beautiful, convenient, and curated experience" within the Apple News app. All of the free content in the Apple News app will remain accessible - think of News+ as the 'premium tier' for that, as it "adds an even more expansive collection of high-quality stories" on top of the free stuff.
Here's a non-exhaustive list of titles you'll see if you subscribe to Apple News+: The Atlantic, Better Homes & Gardens, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, ELLE, Entertainment Weekly, ESPN The Magazine, Esquire, Food & Wine, Good Housekeeping, GQ, Health, InStyle, Martha Stewart Living, National Geographic, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, O, The Oprah Magazine, Parents, People, Real Simple, Rolling Stone, Runners World, Sports Illustrated, TIME, Travel + Leisure, Vanity Fair, Vogue, WIRED, Womans Day, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Toronto Star, theSkimm, The Highlight by Vox, New York Magazines sites, Vulture, The Cut and Grub Street.
In Apple News+, magazines get richly designed layouts with animated covers, vivid photography and bold typography, optimized for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. In the Today and News+ tabs of the Apple News app, you'll see individual article and issue recommendations based on editorial curation and personalized suggestions.
The service is available today in the US and Canada (where it's priced at CAD 12.99 per month), and will launch in the UK and Australia "later this year". You can sign up for a free one-month trial, and the plan automatically renews after that ends. Through Family Sharing, up to six family members can share one Apple News+ subscription.
