Apple News+ is bringing magazines into the fold, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook at the company's keynote today. In addition to the fancy RSS- like news stories, you'll also be able to see high-quality digital magazines in the Apple News app.
This builds on Apple News, which is already the No. 1 news app in the world, and Cook cited its features like hand-picked stories, saying "it's critical that it's trusted."
"I love the feeling of being at the Newsstand," said Cook, mentioning that you're usually only able to buy one or two publications. Apple News+ changes up the limitation with an all-read-you-read plan.
How Apple News+ works
The basic version of the app will remain free, however, there'll be a News+ tab that consist of magazine like Rolling Stone, Popular Science, Traveler and Outside. Everything will be curated by Apple News editors and be personalized.
New issues and featured articles will help you break out news content you'll want to read. It'll let you bypass cover stories to find articles deep inside a magazine.
Premium digital subscriptions like The Skimm, Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and because it's built on expert curation, there's a fee of $9.99 a month. The good news is that at no extra charge, it'll be available to an entire family.
Each person in your family gets full access to the entire catalogue, and it'll be available in an Apple News update starting today. So far, though, it's limited to the US and Canada (In English and French). 30 Canadian magazines and newspapers. Next up will be Australia and the UK later in 2019.
Apple promises this will be the best mobile magazine experience ever.
