Hmm, the site on Costco.com to purchase these services is under the section called "Apple Movie Tickets & Streaming". Is that a typo, or fare they going to sell discounts to ATV+ one-off purchases?
Apple News+ requires ** drum roll ** the Apple News app.Can you view News+ content through a web browser on a PC? Or is the app absolutely required? I have an iPad (no cell), but if I'm at home, I prefer to do so through a 26" monitor is all.
That’s a darn good price.Costco also has the MacBook Air M1 256GB SSD for $849.99 (cheaper than Amazon, Best Buy, and others).

And they know this.For a company that invests so much in services lately, Apple is really dropping the ball, iCloud is the worst of all the major cloud services available, it took them years to add something as simple and useful as drag&drop support, and it is still well behind in features, the only reason I have it is because it works well with the ecosystem.
Thank you for this comment. Yes, News+ is not as widespread as Apple would like I'm sure, but if one was to buy subscriptions for even a few of the 400+ magazines and newspapers available there, they'd be paying a hell of lot more that ten bucks a month. I'm a news junkie and I love News+.The WSJ (biggest paper on news+) is normally $39 a month. If you’re fine reading from the news app, it a great deal even for that one paper. Throw in access to select local papers, pop-mech and pop-sci, Time, Times of London, plus more; and News+ is sort of a bargain at $9.99.
The service isn’t targeted at people who get most of their news from cable networks, YouTube, social media, and bloggers.
I do, because Paramount+, Showtime, and AppleTV+ are cheaper together than the first two are by themselves.Does anyone really subscribe continuously to Apple TV+? I haven't found enough content to warrant a full year subscription.

I stand by my question considering that you can watch Apple TV+ on a Windows PC through Firefox. I've been doing that ever since I started my trial period. The only "wrench in the works" is that the free trial needed to be redeemed through the Apple TV+ app on my 9th gen Ipad.Apple News+ requires ** drum roll ** the Apple News app.
Just connect your Mac to a 26" monitor and open the Apple News app.
Service is led by Eddie Cue. What do you expect? He is the true bottleneck of Apple.For a company that invests so much in services lately, Apple is really dropping the ball, iCloud is the worst of all the major cloud services available, it took them years to add something as simple and useful as drag&drop support, and it is still well behind in features, the only reason I have it is because it works well with the ecosystem.
All the other services (News+, TV+, Arcade, etc.) are either garbage or unappealing. After multiple free trials offered to me I could not sensibly justify paying for any of those services.
I have it as part of Apple One but it replaced my Wired subscription and gave me access to a couple of magazines I used to pick up every now and then. Plus my fiancée has access to her faves as well. It’s a decent value IF you take advantage of it. $10/month isn’t bad for access to so many magazines.Who in their right mind would pay 9.99$ for News+????

And, while it may behind other services, that’s why THIS is the only thing it really has to do. Those with the tech savvy to build a workable solution out of the less expensive services might save themselves a few bucks and endow themselves with a more robust feature set. Those with more money than tech savvy (or just don’t want to spend their spare time troubleshooting every incompatibility in the solution they would build) are just happy that it syncs the way it does.the only reason I have it is because it works well with the ecosystem.
You’re naturally restricted somewhat by today view, but if you go to their “channel” then all their articles seem to show up. I don’t know exactly how far back they go, but articles 3 years ago are available.When it initially rolled out, weren’t there a lot of restrictions on what articles you had access to? And I did not like the interface for News+, has that changed at all? My WSJ is $20/mo, but worth it to get all the articles I want, including older ones (N+ limited to last 3 days?).
One is limited to reading in the News app, so if you wish to use a PC, then the service probably isn’t a great fit.Can you view News+ content through a web browser on a PC? Or is the app absolutely required? I have an iPad (no cell), but if I'm at home, I prefer to do so through a 26" monitor is all.
Lucky.I love getting discounts on my Apple stuff. I saved so much money getting my Studio Display from Costco.
19 Million people it seems.Who in their right mind would pay 9.99$ for News+????
You get several subscriptions with that like Time, and other newspapers with paywalls. At $9.99 for all the content available in one place, it's a great bargain.Who in their right mind would pay 9.99$ for News+????
TV+: needs more movie catalogs. There are other OTA service providers charge dirt cheap price and offer a ton of movies. Just having original content would limit people’s interest because many people think TV+ just has no contents
Arcade: acquire some game developer / publisher (similar to MSFT’s acquisition of Activision, or acquire old school catalogs such as Neo-Geo, Capcom, Sega or something similar)
Yes. AT&T, Verizon, Charter all offer options to suspend service for up to 3-6 months for any reason: financial hardship, vacation/travel, and usually up to a year for military deployment.Are you able to pause your phone service? Internet Service? Cable Service?
At least you can make use of AppleTV or Netflix while you're on vacation.
