Apple News+ Offering Extended Three-Month Free Trial Through Monday

[MacRumors]

First-time subscribers to Apple News+ can receive an extended three-month free trial of the service from today through Monday in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, the four countries where News+ is currently available.

Apple typically offers a one-month trial to News+, so this offer triples the length of free access. The extended trial can be initiated on the Apple News website in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK. After the trial period, Apple News+ automatically renews at its standard pricing, such as $9.99 per month in the United States.

Apple News+ is a subscription-based service in the Apple News app that lets you access hundreds of magazines and paywalled content from some news sites. The service launched in March 2019 following Apple's acquisition of Texture.

Apple announced the offer in a tweet spotted by the blog Apple Terminal.

I seem to be the only person I know that actually likes Apple News+, but then it has the magazines I would normally buy and it's cheaper so a no-brainer.

They could offer a free year and I'm not biting. I still see the one year of ATV+ for when I bought my iPad Pro and I'm not doing that either. I wish this subscription craze would end.

 

[Act3]

wish they gave more options for the apple one plan. Like pick four services you want. I'd take the news over TV+. Free year that I never use

 

[OriginalClone]

I was offered the three months free then when I signed up apple charged my Apple Card for $9.99.

I’d like to delete Apple News+ from my M1 mini but can’t.
I need the SSD space.

 

[SVTmaniac]

Can’t even give it away.

 

[Mike MA]

Even as a huge Apple supporter I cannot seriously consider this or its predecessor as a service being available only in like 3-4 countries worldwide?

I havn't bought a physical newspaper or magazine for years. Most magazines in the UK are 60% adverts..

I'm sure 9 quid is a good deal compared to buying physical, but its of no value to me..

What problem is Apple News+ trying to solve?

 

[Apple_Robert]

I will take 3 months free. There are a few magazines I will enjoy reading.

A wealthy industrialist like yourself.

If you want to pick the news you want to read, use a RSS reader. That is what I do. No ads and only the stuff I care about.

 

[SamGabbay]

I've had Apple One since they launched and didn't even know it comes included, nor have I even opened it since that time. Hell, if I'm paying for it, might as well use it.

Usually the trial works even when you’re not a new subscriber. Not this time. Tried the 3 month trial and it immediately tried to charge the $9.99.

If I wanted another subscription, it would be for Apple Music.

Same here; I must have previously had a free trial. Cancelled immediately and have applied for a refund.

You can use a different Apple ID.

 

[thadoggfather]

very tempting but

Does this come with WSJ at least? how would one make sure they get three months and not the free one month one and not billed right away/

Anyone done Apple Arcade for 3 months? comes up at top of settings app and I have 2 months left to activate it if I want to

It’s probably because you’re the only person you know that still reads magazines.

Who pays for news in 2020?

I’ll happily pay for good news. News+ is a magazine service though with a bit of news sprinkled in.

Your description of said service is exactly what it is.

What problem is Apple News+ trying to solve?

The problem of the world not having enough subscription services. ?

 

[jcshas]

I received an offer code for 4 months free when I bought a HomePod mini @ Best Buy but it’s for new subscribers only. ?

What problem are you trying to solve?

Is it really that hard to grasp the concept of someone wanting to read to learn something new or entertain themselves?
