Inverse | Apple News+ vs. Apple Newsstand (2011) Keynote Comparison @inverse | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
Apple News+ keynote at the Apple event 2019 resembles the Apple Newsstand keynote announcement in 2011 in many ways. While this video is interesting - it really comes down to waht really is Apple News+, here at Inverse we broke it down and you can read more about it on Inverse.com. The link is below just a bit. But for starters, Apple's $9.99 bundle works out to somewhere in the range of 30 to 75 cents an article, based on the average American's reading habits.

Apple News+ Release Date and Price
Unlike most of the other products Apple unveiled at Monday’s event, Apple News+ is available right away starting at $9.99 in the United States, or $12.99 in Canada, according to Apple’s press release. The service will be available in the United Kingdom and Australia “later this year.”
Apple News+ Available Publications
Apple has recruited most of the big magazine conglomerates into the Apple News+ ecosystem, including Hearst, Conde Nast, and Meredith, which between them account for nearly 80 U.S. titles, according to the company media kits. Apple has also recruited a handful of daily newspapers, including The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Toronto Star; and some digital publications like theSkimm.
You can check out a full list of the publications that were featured in the announcement below, as well as the full library available on Texture, the magazine app Apple acquired last year. Apple didn’t respond to multiple requests for a full publication list, but we were able to add a few more titles to list below using a leak from Federico Viticci at MacStories.
Between Apple’s announcement, Viticci’s count, and the available magazines on Texture, Inverse counted a total of 277 publications. We’ll update the list if Apple alerts us to any that we missed.
Apple News+: Is It Worth the Money?
Apple’s $8,000 figure is a bit misleading, the 300-publication count includes a lot of industry publications with pretty narrow appeal (not to slight the fine work of the people at Wood), children’s titles, and even a few publications in foreign languages, like Châtelaine. And of course, even if you read 24/7, you’d have a hard time getting the full $8,000 worth of articles.
It also doesn’t look like the full Wall Street Journal subscription will be included with Apple News+ According to an internal memo obtained by the Verge, the Journal will only provide a selection of curated general interest news to Apple News+ readers, not necessarily the all of in-depth financial coverage and analysis the paper is known for.
To that end, an Apple News+ subscription likely makes the most sense for people who already subscribe to the new dailies offered (like the Star or the LA Times) or people who read a lot of magazines. The average American spends something like 15 minutes reading magazines per day, according to data on Statista, which is probably between five and ten stories per week, depending on how long they are. At $9.99 per month, that’s something like 30 cents per story for an average consumer. If you read more than a dozen magazine stories a month, the Apple News+ subscription will likely be a bargain.
