Apple is planning a subscription news service, according to the outlet Bloomberg. And it After the purchase of the Texture app a few months ago, little has been said about the company's intentions regarding this acquisition. Although it seems that Apple's purpose is to offer quality service to its customers through Apple News.
As you well know, Apple already has a news service, Apple News, although it has not yet arrived in Spain. Be careful, this doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it either - does changing region on your computer sound like something to you? -. However, Apple's intentions and content go further. Apple Music is one of the services in which the Cupertino company is putting the most care and audiovisual content will be a large part of the company's claim in the future. But, And what about written content? This is where Mark Gurman's information comes in.
Apparently, Apple intends to integrate the Texture application into Apple News. The latter offered content in the form of digital magazines for a monthly payment of about $ 10. Among the best known titles are: People, Vogue, Rolling Stone, National Geographic, GQ, Sports Illustrated, Wired, Maxim, Men's Health, GQ, Bloomberg Businessweek, ESPN The Magazine or Entertainment Weekly.
Likewise, Eddy Cue confirmed after the acquisition of the Texture app that the company was committed to quality journalism. And that they agreed to continue betting on serious, well-prepared content that informed their audience. Therefore, the idea is not so far-fetched.
On the other hand, the business idea would follow the idea offered by Apple Music: for a monthly fee the user would have access to all the content; that is to say: a flat rate to access digital publications of all topics. Now, they also remind us from Macrumors that Apple already had a service that offered access to magazines. This was Newsstand, although the business model was completely different. Why? Well, because Newsstand offered individual subscription; that is, if you wanted to access a publication, you had to pay for it. And so one after another.
Lastly, Apple News is available in few markets: United States, United Kingdom and Australia. And it is since the appearance of iOS 9. We will see the following movements and if Apple decides to expand this application outside these three borders.
