Apple is calling the major newspapers to join the texturing subscription service

Apple has discussed with major US newspapers the addition of their content to the Texture app that Apple bought in March, reports recoding.

Eddy Cue and other Apple executives spoke with the New York Times, the the Wall Street newspaper, and the Washington Post about joining the texture service.

All these newspapers limit the number of stories that people can read without paid subscription. the Washington Postfor example, charges $ 10 per month for access, while The New York Times costs $ 15 a month and The Wall Street Journal costs $ 37 a month.

The Apple Texture app gives access to more than 200 popular magazines such as People, The New Yorker, Time, National Geographic, Shape, Newsweek, etc., for a monthly fee of $ 9.99.

according to recoding, it is not yet known whether Apple intends to add newspaper articles to the same subscription service at $ 9.99 or offer the content as a fee supplement, and we do not know if the news sites are interested.

Newspapers will probably not be as effective with Texture as through their own subscriptions and may not want to be part of a bundled service. It is possible, however, that news providers opt for Texture, given the active installation base of Apple, which has more than 1.3 billion devices.

According to a conversation manager, an additional concern for articles is that being part of a set of publications is less interesting than an individual relationship with subscribers. This also leaves open the possibility that Apple will drop them from the package eventually.

Rumors have already suggested that Apple is aiming to create an all-in-one subscription service that would provide access to magazines and digital information, Apple Music and original TV content. .
