On March 25, the Cupertino-based company officially presented the new magazine subscription service, with which Apple wants to expand the number of services it offers to its customers. But it will not be the only service that will arrive in the next few months, since as we could see in the same event it will not arrive only throughout the year.
In addition to Apple News +, Apple will launch this year Apple Card, Apple Arcade y Apple TV +. At the moment, and according to The New York Times, one of the media that has not wanted to be available on this service, affirms that during the first 48 hours, This new service has started to be used by more than 200.000 people.
And I say start using it. Keep in mind that the first month is completely free. Even so, very few users seem interested in this new magazine subscription service, despite taking into account that it is only available in the United States and Canada, where Apple's share is around 50% of the market.
Even so, the figures that Apple News + offers us They are much higher than what Texture was able to achieve at some point, the company that bought Apple and which is called the Netflix of magazines. Apple News + makes available to users about 300 magazines of all kinds for a monthly fee of $ 9,99.
Despite Eddy Cue's repeated visits to both the New York Times and The Washington Post over the past year, Apple's senior vice president of software and Internet failed to get both companies to agree to be available on Apple's news feed. Both media stated that they saw it as an interesting idea, but what they are interested in is growing the number of subscriptions for their service, a service that has a monthly price of $ 30 per month.
