There is a News app, just not a News+ subscription option. News+ is based on partnerships with a largish number of publications. For any country Apple wants to add, it has to negotiate with an equally compelling list of publications in that country. That takes time and effort and the media landscape can vary a lot between countries, making the concept of News+ more or less compelling to publications. Generally, the smaller a country, the less return Apple gets for that effort and the fewer potential publications a country has, the less compelling a bundle will probably be to consumers. Lastly, Apple might still be testing out the concept of News+ in their home country before expanding it abroad.
Seems like you're already overpaying by not using the annual subscription discount on Apple Music.
I checked the European upgrade prices and there is no discount if you have AppleOne - the listed price for upgrading AppleOne to 2TB is the same as as a current subscription without AppleOne.
There might be, but for UK I think. It‘s especially frustrating for people like me who only use a News app with niche news like MacRumors articles etc. But Apple seems to think I‘m not capable of reading english news or that I want to read about local politics / news instead of letting me opt into the app without local stuff.
I think they introduced the ability to LINK accounts being used in this way a year or so ago? Try a specific apple site search and you’ll probably find it. I think you can also change the associated address with account authorization, vs. emails. That would probably do that same thing without aCully linking.
You know this based on the subscription data you have of Apple’s customers? The surveys you have done of the needs of current customers? What you personally want generalized to the whole world?
