Apple News could activate micropayments for publishers

Apple News is something like the alternative to Flipboard that the Cupertino company decided to introduce. However, like everything in the Apple universe, it has its limitations. The publications that we see are subject to some indications of methods and of course to the tight control of the Cupertino company in terms of quality standards. In the same way, all this could sound like Chinese to you, since Apple News is not available in Spain for a change.

Now Apple wants to make its News application more interesting if possible for publishers, the measure would consist of adding the possibility of establishing micropayments with which publishers could sell their ads. Once again the model freemium and micropayments.

This information comes from Ad Age, which ensures that Apple has short-term plans to update the way publishers will be able to see their work paid in Apple News. Apparently the idea is something similar to Google DoubleClickHowever, it will also activate at the same time the possibility of adding micropayments to access certain articles, so perhaps reading an interesting research news has a price, never better said. It does not seem like a bad method for publishers to receive compensation, although "free" will surely succeed.

It is clear that the majority of information services that have opted for the micro payments method have failed in the attempt, such as the Orbyt versions. Meanwhile, publishers can now use the standard ad tagging standards common in other media in News. In short, Apple News right now only works in the United States of America, Australia and the United Kingdom, so it is most likely that what we are telling you is not going to change your life, the umpteenth Apple option that never explodes in Spain.
