“World-class journalism”.... now that’s gotta be the joke of the year. Journalistic standards are lower than any point in history; nonexistent.
That very much depends on where you source your news from actually.
You have to cancel before the 3 free months are up it auto renews monthly.
For me, reading paper-based media (books, newspapers) is as much about getting away from devices as it is about the content itself.
Also, who honestly spends the equivalent of £/$10 a month on print, or least has the time to read more than that money's worth of print?

To be fair, a decent mag is at least a fiver. Newspapers are a quid a day. It’s not a bad deal if the stuff you read normally is on there.
I'm of the opinion that Apple News+ is the best way to consume news in the modern age. I particularly like the deep takes you get across multiple sources with differing viewpoints. It really allows you to develop an informed opinion about the big issues of our time.
I like it too. Having full access to magazines of my interest is a lot different than scrolling through Instagram. Not sure I’ll subscribe after my trial though. I get an edu discount with Apple Music which comes with free TV+ so I don’t have interest in a bundle.
This is going to sound ridiculous, but I’m subscribing to Apple Music Family, and 2 TB of iCloud, separately. It only saves me $5 per month (USD), but I don’t have time for Apple TV or News, and certainly don’t want Fitness or Arcade.
It’s only an extra $5 per month for the 4 services, but I really can’t see myself ever using Fitness.
Also, this is ad-free. Well, I’m not sure about News+, but ATV is OK as a service.

Paying monthly for TV, newspapers, and magazines isn’t new. 🤷🏻♂️ It’s not part of a craze. In fact, subscribing today is better than ever, since everything is on-demand.

It charged me $9.99 instantly and said my next charge would be in December for $9.99.
I feel like Apple just robbed me of £10! A most un-Apple experience.
A pop up for 3 months free for Black Friday appears on my iPad. I think sure why not, I’ll set a reminder to cancel if it hasn’t improved any since last time.
I set up the subscription and instantly get charged £10 and no free 3 months.
I understand now that I’m apparently ineligible but that knowledge isn’t much use to me now.
I should never have been presented that pop up. I’m raging!

Apple News name is wrong. It's Apple Magazines.
If Apple market it as hundreds for magazines for 9.99$, then it "might" work. News should be free in 2020.

I don't think news should be free as newspapers have to make money to pay their journalists and this shows since you have major cities in the US that have cut back coverage or eliminated their newspapers all together. Not everything in life should be free.
I like News+ quite a bit, particularly for its soccer coverage. It's generally much better than most American outlets.
I guess you have to pad those numbers out somehow! (And how many poor customers will they get an accidental free month's sub out of because they forget to cancel and can't figure out how to get a refund?)
Does it need to solve a problem? I am paying for it because I don’t watch live news, don’t use Facebook, and enjoy being able to follow hundreds of publications in one single app.

Apple News furthers the race to the bottom in journalism. It will help do to “news” what the music streaming services did to musicians. It will further promote click bate journalism that has very little substance by rewarding just pumping it out versus well researched and substantive reporting that takes time, effort, and funding. It further promotes the corporatization of information.
I don’t know what the answer is to foster good journalism, but it’s not Apple News and other services like them.
I’m not sure how to interpret the intent of your comment. On the face of it, I agree with your words. However, if your intention was to support Apple News, then I very much disagree with you.

I deleted the News app ages ago, the editors are woke cultists. All of their “coverage” is slanted toward their politics. Not worth the bother. I can’t imagine paying for content in that app. Pure trash.
Not nearly as much as I wish people on Macrumors would stop thinking that if they don't like or want something Apple makes then nobody else outside of the MR bubble does. 🙄
A company makes an honest mistake and you call them sleazy? SMH. I hope you realize you can simply call Apple and they will reverse the charge or credit your card back. A day of MR members not trashing Apple is a day we all live in a unicorn world. Lordy.
Here's a thought. Maybe customers can read the T&C before signing up, especially when it states "Eligible Customers". Does Apple need to hold everyone's hand? I can assure you Microsoft and Samsung don't hold anyone's hand, nor do they throw their terms in the consumer's face so there's no mistake on eligibility.
Who wants to even read the news in 2020? Most of what I’ve seen is biased, negative, or just completely false. My head has been happier in the sand.
Making a product for a selected small
percentage of the world population is not the best strategy.
