Apple Finally Kills Newsstand to Make Way for Apple News

Wired  

If you have an iOS device, you'll soon have a new way to read news. Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 9, goes live today, and brings with it the chance to try Apple’s new newsreader, Apple News. Apple News offers publishers another way to get their content in front of you, but within the confines of an Apple-controlled user experience. Though Apple News ultimately is under Apple's control, publishers will be able to customize stories so they have the look and feel of their own design and brand sensibilities, including photos, videos, and infographics. The other reason publishers may eagerly get on board with Apple News is that, after iOS 9's launch, the mobile web will become less ad-friendly on the iPhone.
