Of course we realise this and my mistake was not making it clear enough that this point was a secondary clause.
You're absolutely right and where the goal posts are now to where they started are two very different things!
Clearly “a flop”.

While it lacks the kind of polish I’d expect from Apple, the value is undeniable and it’s already become a part of my routine. Rather than browse for news on multiple sites, I pull up Apple News periodically and see what’s new from all my favourite sources in that one spot. The notifications on my Apple Watch are pretty great too.
Actual data meaning "two unnamed sources"?
Maybe I should preface all of my data with "unnamed sources" because that now objectively counts as actual data.
So there are what? Only about 100M iOS users in the US (https://www.statista.com/statistics/232790/forecast-of-apple-users-in-the-us/). Why are you claiming there at 10x that? And then a subscription can be shared across the family as I understand, so you can take what a fifth of that figure.
Good point well made!

I’ve also spent a lot time browsing through magazines like I would a paper mag, page by page, appreciating the graphic layout and even the ads (magazine advertising is truly an art form). I really think that Apple has a chance to revolutionize how we consume digital “print” publishing.
The app needs some work, however. Apple News+ feels bolted on, disconnected from the rest of the app. Certain important features are missing like saving a magazine article to read later like can be done in articles elsewhere in the app. There are also a bunch of bugs with downloaded magazines disappearing and not showing in “My Magazines” unless I actually start reading it.
I don’t get what you mean, or maybe you do not either
0.017% ? What in 2 days?
Are you really trying to say anything at all?
So by your logic 365 days in a year we will see 182.5 x 0.017% = 3.1% in one year???
3.1% of 1.2Billion devices is 37,200,000 subscriptions.
Also I thought Apple had 1.4 Billion active devices? But wait. I have about 8 advices in the house.....
Wait, maybe the numbers do speak for themselves.
Yes they also get access to a much larger market. And just like banks with Apple Pay eventually give in, so will these companies and not only that, but do very well out it.
So how much does it cost you today to get your magazine on the shelf? How much of that retail price are you getting?
News is that once you read say 10 or so articles & want to get back to the main home screen, how do you do it? Kill the app or go back thru the very same 10 screens you’ve just looked at, I mean whose brilliant idea is this? Comparably it’s a bit like the original scroll wheel iPod without a home button or reading a newspaper/magazine & having to rifle back thru all pages to get back to one. Why has this not been changed yet, is it lack of attention to user experience or what is the point, I’d honestly like to know?!
