Rationale
Apple News is a content distribution platform that curates news and magazine articles. It offers a free tier and a premium 'Apple News+' subscription for expanded content, including audio stories and exclusive puzzles. The platform uses personalization to recommend stories and is accessible via mobile apps. While it doesn't allow users to publish their own content like Medium, it acts as a significant content aggregator and distributor with monetization and discovery features.
