Signs of ‘Apple News Magazines’ subscription service spotted in macOS Mojave 10.14.4 beta

Tuesday March 12, 2019. 08:08 PM , from Mac Daily News
“Apple is rumored to be working on an Apple News subscription service that would provide access to magazines and paywalled news content for a monthly fee, and hints of that new subscription service have been spotted in macOS Mojave 10.14.4,” Juli Clover reports for MacRumors.
“Developer Steve Troughton-Smith this morning shared some screenshots of the new subscription service pulled from the latest macOS 10.14.4 beta,” Clover reports. “The screenshots show notifications from the Apple News subscription service, which will alert subscribers when new issues of their favorite magazines are available.”
Clover reports, “Similar subscription information has also already been seen in iOS 12.2, with the subscription service called ‘Apple News Magazines.'”

There's a bunch you can discern about Apple News' magazines from what's in the OS betas: for example, the magazines are PDF-based (like most iPad magazines), and issues can be stored offline. The magazine genres are listed as pictured. Most of its code is written in Swift pic.twitter.com/Uc1gN0qygu

MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, if Apple unveils both their video streaming and “Apple News Magazines” services, they’ve designed their event (or possibly pricing/bundling) so that the two do not step on each other publicity-wise.
