Apple News coming to iOS 9 !!

Apple News, the app, which will be installed on every iPhone that upgrades to iOS 9. It is a new app centralised for all the content.

Features of this new app are :

·         Fast

·         Responsive

·         Enjoyable to use

·         Puts everything in one place

·         Loads incredibly fast

·         Recommends new sites

·         Swipe up to read an article from original site

The app is broken up into a number of tabs such as

1.    ‘For you’  which is a selection of stories from the publications you subscribe to

2.    ‘Favorites’ shows what you’re subscribed to

3.     ‘Explore’ offers suggestions

4.    ‘Saved’ is a simple way to save stories for later reading

Each site can customize their section of the app, such as they can change their logo and  the background colour of the top bar.

Stories in the app are presented in a consistent, clean way, though publishers can modify their font and add other elements.

Those publishers simply don’t have the resources to spend time worrying about seconds on every page load, and Apple’s offering an interesting way to solve the problem. One major issue, though, is nobody knows what Apple’s ad payouts will look like and it’ll only allow one ad to be shown on each article, via its iAd network.

The app misses a ton of features.

Once Apple News is on everyone’s home screen, it could change the face of news forever… or it could just end up in another folder on your phone, which depends on ‘YOU’.
