IT WILL TAKE
15 minutes APPLE’S BUILT–IN NEWS curating platform, Apple News, allows you to pick your sources, topics and areas of interest, then brings them all together in a tailored feed. While there are plenty of news aggregators on the App Store, Apple News offers some significant benefits over the competition.
The content is curated by a dedicated editorial team, so the suggestions you see are from high–quality sources. The app then works with Safari to suggest news stories and topics based on your browsing history, and you can further refine suggestions by liking/unliking particular items, and blocking channels and themes you aren’t interested in seeing.
All this information processing is done entirely on–device, so there’s no sending of data to the cloud or sharing of info to third–parties. The app is available across your devices too, so you can pick up and read on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Apple also runs a subscription service called Apple News+ in the News app. For $9.99 per month, you can subscribe to over 100 magazines and newspapers. With sources like TIME, Vogue, Sports
Illustrated, Conde Nast, National Geographic and Vox, Apple News+ gives you access to a wide range of content for one price. You can also browse old editions and download content to read offline.
An Apple News+ subscription comes with Family Sharing, supporting up to six users for just the one fee, and you can opt for a free one–month trial first.
