vlcsnap-2015-06-08-18h54m00s49

As reported this morning, Apple officially announced a new News app as part of iOS 9. The app takes the place of Newsstand and allows users to easily view and read the news they care most about. With an interface similar to Flipboard, Apple highlights the rich typography.

Apple also touts how users are prompted to pick specific topics in which they are interested and then the app propagates with content relating to those selected topics. Users can also add specific websites and blogs.

Apple says that it has worked with a handful of notable publications for News. The New York Times, for instance, will provide News readers with 30 free articles per month, designed for the News app. ESPN has also signed on for the service, as has Conde Nast and the suite of sources it publishes, including Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, and Wired.

News will be supported in the United Staes, United Kingdom, and Australia when it launches.
