Apple is developing a premium news subscription service set to roll out later this year in an update to the popular Apple News app.
Apple is reportedly planning to update Apple News with a premium option. The Cupertino company recently purchased Texture, a magazine subscription service, and plans to integrate it into its baked-in news app for iPhone and iPad.
The story broke earlier today when Bloomberg reported sources familiar with matter state Apple will roll out the paid option as early as this year. It’s expected the service will cost $9.99 per month, the same as Texture’s subscription fee prior to the Apple purchase.
Assuming the ad-free paid subscription model works out and sticks– Apple’s been tweaking its News recipe for years – this could be a game changer.
