Mark Gurman stated a few days ago that we would not expect great presentations for the event to be held on April 20, baptized with the name Spring loaded. The latest related rumors, published by Peter Kafka, with this event, suggest that Apple will introduce a podcast subscription service.
Kafta comments in one of his latest tweets, that he's pretty sure Apple is preparing its own podcast payment platform for next Tuesday. This information has been confirmed by Steve Moser (MacRumors), since they coincide with the latest data found in the latest beta of iOS 14.5.
Apple announcing paid podcasts at the #AppleEvent tomorrow per @pkafka lines up with my findings. https://t.co/zM3Lun6EXR https://t.co/M94Lfxk9zS

In the latest beta of iOS 14.4, in the upper right corner of the Listen tab, a bell is found that shows us all the new content that has been published recently from the podcasts that we follow.
In iOS 14.5 you will find a new icon with the image of our account, so it is more than likely that through this new icon, you will find the information related to our subscription and the notifications of the new content that the podcasts that we follow.
The guys at Apple Insider say that for a couple of days, Apple has stopped accepting new podcast submissions via iTunes Connect. This news could be related to what Apple plans to present tomorrow, however, it could also be a scheduled maintenance of the platform.
We have been talking for several months about Apple's plans to create a podcast subscription plan. This new platform, which Loop Ventures analysts say could be called Podcast +, will offer a selection of exclusive premium programs.
We are currently in the 14.5th beta of iOS XNUMX, so the release of the final version it shouldn't take too long, a version that will also include a large number of functions that you can see in this article.
Tomorrow we will leave doubts.
