Apple News+ Apple News+ limitations?

[lsquare]

I just learned that participating publications like WaPo don't grant access to all articles. It seems ridiculous Apple would even allow this. Are there any other limitations? I'm guessing magazines have full access and older issues. Newspapers can arbitrarily decide what I can and can't read even though I'm paying for a subscription?

Is anyone here able to screenshot articles in magazines or the news article or there is DRM?

That kind of limitation has been in place for a long time and is controlled by the entities involved with Apple News.

What about magazines and screenshots?

I can take screenshots of several of my magazines. I didn’t test all of them.

That's awesome. Does the screenshot include everything on your screen or the entire page of the magazine? Is the quality of the screenshot good?

It is high quality and shows everything on the screen from my iPhone 15 pro. I am sure the picture would show even more information when done on my M4 iPad Pro or M3 Pro MacBook.

That's awesome. I'm assuming you didn't test this on your iPad? I'm guessing the screenshot will look best when done on an iPad since magazines are formatted closer to the iPad's screen aspect ratio so more would be captured without scrolling?

I didn’t test on my iPad. Do a free trial and find out for yourself.

You are subscribing to Apple News+, NOT the Washington Post. IF you want full access to the Post you have to subscribe to it.
