Apple Unveils News App For IPhone & IPad

(RTTNews) - Apple Inc (AAPL) on Monday unveiled an all-new News app that provides news reading experience on any mobile device. Available with iOS 9 this fall for iPhone and iPad, News combines the visually rich layout of a magazine with the immediacy and customization of digital media.

News follows over a million topics and pulls relevant stories based on specific interests that can be easily shared or saved for later — without compromising users privacy. News is powered by the new custom-designed Apple News Format, a digital publishing format that allows publishers to create beautiful layouts.

"News seamlessly delivers the articles you want to read in a beautiful and uncluttered format, while respecting your privacy, because Apple doesn't share your personal data," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "We already have nearly 20 publishers representing more than 50 titles joining us, including Condé Nast, ESPN, The New York Times, Hearst, Time Inc., CNN and Bloomberg."
