Audio content on Apple News+ broadens its reach in Canada and the United Kingdom
In an exciting development for news enthusiasts worldwide, Apple News+ Audio is now available in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This marks the first expansion of the service outside the US since its launch.
Apple News+ Audio offers audio stories from a wide range of publications, including local ones that cater to the unique news and interests of each country. While the specific local publications have not been announced, the service features audio content from regional newspapers, magazines, and subscription publications relevant to each country. Some of the well-known U.S. and international titles included are The New Yorker, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times.
The audio stories can be found in the Audio tab, located at the bottom of the News app. Users can also listen to them through the Podcasts app. This expansion aims to provide users with professionally narrated top stories from their own countries, making it easier for those who prefer not to read the news.
For those who are already Apple News+ subscribers, the new audio features are available on iPhone, iPad, and CarPlay. For those who are not, subscriptions for Apple News+ Audio cost $12.99 per month. The service is also included in the Apple One Premier plan, which costs $37.95 per month.
