The tech giant plans to integrate the digital mag subscription app/service into Apple News and debut its own premium subscription offering, the article adds.
The goal: offer a new, simplified subscription service covering multiple publications that can spur Apple News usage and generate new revenue in a similar manner to the $9.99-per-month Apple Music offering.
