A Shame it’s not available in the UK. I would give this a shot.
[doublepost=1553544091][/doublepost]I actually signed up to a similar service on a reduced price trial. I didn’t continue with the subscription as it ran out at the end of February because I was waiting for Apple’s version. I’m going to sign up again

I gather you never read the WSJ.
You have no idea what you're talking about. The WSJ has broken countless news stories across a wide range of categories. Just look into a little story about a company named Theranos for an example. Their corporate board was stock full of corporate and political heavyweights yet they found out about the fraud at Theranos the same way WSJ subscribers did - by reading it in the WSJ. That story involved nearly a year of investigative journalism.
LOL, I saw that too and got a good laugh too. Maybe he was going skydiving after the keynote was over.
I’m going to resubscribe to Readly my 3 month offer ended at the end of February and held off subscribing to wait and see what Apple had up their sleeves. I wouldn’t have minded giving Apple’s subscription a go but it’s not available in the UK.
I'm curious how quickly Apple will add new magazines and newspapers to the collection. Will they have 1 more publication each month or 30 more?
It'll likely take a bigger collection than this initial offering to tempt me to sign up.

The local Barnes & Noble has a similar service for no charge. People can just go in there and have access to hundreds of magazines and periodicals.
Most libraries offer this service for free through RBDigital
They've broken countless stories in areas outside investing and the markets. Their journalists are very well connected in political circles and break both domestic and international political stories.
Toronto Star. Trust me, you don't want the Sun. Actually it would be better to have the Globe & Mail which is like the WSJ.
I haven't bought any magazines in a long while and don't think I will subscribe. As for news, no way am I going to subscribe to any of them and pay.
Yes, I have a feeling that the young Apple crowd is not that thrilled. They seem to be targeting an audience outside their optimal demographic.
And... Older folks like me know that most of the writing is boring, tedious, and generally useless in everyday life. People will try this, but find after a couple of months that they are wasting $10/month.
I don't remember the last time I was at B&N but I have my iPad with me everyday.The local Barnes & Noble has a similar service for no charge. People can just go in there and have access to hundreds of magazines and periodicals.
I subscribed right away. WSJ makes it easy. As much as I read it’s 10 well spent. The video thing is a different story. That whole segment did nothing for me.
True. But are those the young folk, their best demographic? Those people are on Instagram, Snapchat, FB, etc. They aren't reading through legions of magazines. This is like aapl re-adopting DVD drivesDefinitely targeted at those who like to read.
Yeah, haven’t been in Toronto for awhile, the only thing good about the sun, was the sun girl, but I’m sure that’s gone now
