The event was a massive hit and Apple News+ got more than 200,000 subscribers within 48 hours, the data is based on The New York Times report.

Apple News+ is a subscription-based service offered by Apple that provides access to a wide range of digital magazines and newspapers. In its first week of launch, Apple News+ managed to attract over 200,000 subscribers. The service offers users the ability to browse and read content from popular publications across various categories, including news, lifestyle, entertainment, and more. With its vast selection of magazines and newspapers, Apple News+ aims to provide a convenient and comprehensive platform for users to stay informed and entertained.

The Apple News+ app didn’t fall far from the tree

The only service introduced by Apple last week was Apple News+ which is headlined by The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times and provides its user to choose from more than 300 popular magazines and publications. After a month of the free trial, the users will have to pay $9.99 which is $10 obviously, and $12.99 in Canada. The service is yet to be released in Australia and Europe and for the global audience later this year.

The service is modeled after Texture, which Apple acquired last year. Before being acquired by Apple Texture used to provide a subscription to only 200 magazines and digital publications so Apple’s strategy is to build up a number of the audience by providing more choices by shutting down Texture and moving its user to apple news+. John Loughlin, Ceo of Texture stated in 2016 that it has more than “hundreds of thousands” of users.

A dozen of high-profile brands will grace Apple’s screen everywhere. The titles will cover a wide cross-section of interests including style and beauty (Vogue, InStyle), food (Bon Appetit), and science and technology (National Geographic, Scientific American) also offering feature publications focused on business and politics (Time, The Atlantic), travel (Conde Nast Traveler), sports (Runners World, Sports Illustrated), and entertainment (People, Vanity Fair). Readers will also get access to several popular digital publications, like TechCrunch and Wired.

While providing its users with services like this the main agenda of Apple is obviously to retain its position as a trillion-dollar company and generate a hefty revenue. Apple managed to generate approximately $ 256 billion in revenue in the past 12 months, and if the 200k subscribers continued their subscription even after the trial period expires it will only generate 24 million dollars for Apple and that is before the publisher’s cut. This is a good strategy for recurring income and a bright future for Apple News+.

Apple is expected to introduce us to the successor of iOS 12 during its one of the biggest event next month but the new announcement is going to come with bad news as per few sources Apple could drop iOS 13 support for its old devices which means a bunch of iPhone’s are not going to get the new software upgrade.

According to a few sources, Apple is going to drop iPhone 6 series, iPhone SE and older phones from the update cycle along with this the iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, and the iPad mini 4. The decision to exclude iPhone SE and iPhone 6 series is much more shocking than removing the old iPad’s because these two iPhone series are still one of the best selling iPhone’s in developing countries. The major reason decision for this decision could be to boost the sales of the newer range of iPhone’s.

If this report is true then lots of users will be left with no choice but to stick with iOS 12 or to upgrade to other devices.

We are still unclear why Apple excluded iPhone SE which is just 3 years old but what we can understand is that there can be any hardware compatibility issue because iPhone SE runs on A9 which is used in iPhone 6S range while the 6S is maybe receiving the update.

Still, we don’t have any confirmation from Apple so, one should take this info with a pinch of salt.

This new alert comes after you confirm with Touch ID/Face ID. You will find a pop-up stating that “The subscription will continue unless canceled settings at least one day before a subscription period ends.” This feature started rolling out around the world last week itself. The app subscription process started reefing by the apple store developer from past one month onwards. In January, Apple started banning the apps which hide the real subscriptions fees in small print to trick you into agreeing to huge amounts than what you are willing to pay for those apps.

David Barnard an app developer firstly noticed this change and 9 TO 5 MAC has confirmed that this pop is already live. This feature is the best feature for those who play the game and also for those who subscribe for the apps.

These Powerbeats Pro headphones contain adjustable earplugs and have been designed totally against the water disservice. These Powerbeats headphones are wireless. Although the case doesn’t support QI wireless charging and you are supposed to plug it in yet you are now set free from getting tangled by an irritable net of wires as there is no connection between your earplugs linked with wires. You can enjoy your audio till 9 hours and also offered to enjoy your serenade up to 24 hours of playback with the charging case.

Apple is needed to borrow the features like digital assistant including support for speaking, “Hey Siri”, and an H1 chip that would let it go to be friendly for an easy use among other devices of Apple like iPhone, iPad, and MacBooks as well. Hence another notable thing here is that no doubt the potential of Powerbeats Pro may challenge AirPods yet some of the features are supposed to be received from the latest AirPods so let’s not be confused that this is better than that and that is not perfect like this.

In the end, we would like to let you know about the price of Powerbeats Pro headphones as regulated by the company which ranges $249.95. The sale is scheduled to start in May so get ready to receive a brand-new collection from Apple soon!
