Late to the Party, Apple has announced plans to launch a digital magazine store.
An updated Apple News app will gain a Magazines tab – similar to the app Texture, which Apple acquired last year – letting consumers subscribe to a bundle of magazine titles for a monthly fee. Final details are still being worked out, and Apple’s plans could change. An Apple spokesman didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The magazine subscription service, which has been in testing with Apple employees for months, will launch as part of an iOS 12.2 update scheduled for release in northern spring.
How, where and when people access news and information has evolved and continues to evolve. This move from Apple is not unexpected.
