At its latest keynote today, Apple announced four new services to help it push deeper into the wide worlds of news, entertainment, and... banking? As predicted by analysts and reporters, Apple announced a paid magazine subscription platform and a Netflix-like streaming service. It also announced an Xbox Game Pass-style subscription for games and—this one’s a real doozy—its own credit card.
In a world of fake news, Apple have committed to bringing their users news from 'trusted sources' by purchasing Texture, a subscription-based service that provides access to hundreds of different publications and magazines.
Now the question is: What exactly is Texture and how will this affect iOS users?
It doesn't really seem like Apple News has taken off nearly as much as Apple likely hoped it would, but if you only visit a handful of web sites, it's actually a pretty solid RSS reader if you know how to use it right.
