Apple News App May Finally Expand to More Countries
Current Availability – Available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia since 2019. – Expansion delayed due to the need for more editors and increased local coverage.
Planned Expansion – Apple plans to add more countries to the News app. – Currently, about 100 editors work across New York, London, Sydney, and California. – Some US-only features, like News+ word games and Sudoku, may come to the UK.
Challenges and Monetization – Apple uses human editors to curate top stories and features. – Expanding requires more editors and increased local coverage. – Publishers report high traffic but find it hard to earn money.
