Apple News+ purportedly slow in picking up new subscribers

Apple signed on 200,000 subscribers to Apple News+ (of which I’m a BIG fan) in its first 48 hours in March, but has been stuck in neutral since that time, according to CNBC, quoting unnamed “people familiar with the matter.”

By comparison, Apple’s Eddy Cue said in June that Apple Music had topped 60 million subscribers, four years after launch.

For $9.99/month, Apple News+ allows access to 300 publications in categories including news, entertainment and sports for $9.99 a month. I use it daily and find it a great investment. 

Apple doesn’t reveal the exact numbers of News+ subscribers to publishers; however, CNBC claims the figure “hasn’t increased materially from its first couple days.”
