Читать книгу Apple One For Dummies - Dwight Spivey - Страница 17

I mention in the Introduction how my parents always knew where they could find me: hovering around the magazine rack in our neighborhood grocery store. Back in the day (I won’t say which day, to maintain some sort of mystery in the author/reader relationship), the magazine rack was where you could find at least some kind of information on just about any topic under the sun: news, sports, computers, cooking, religion, automobiles, fashion, entertainment, crosswords, and many other topics I’ll save my poor tired hands from typing. Now that the Internet is the virtually unlimited source of knowledge, magazine racks have become more sparse at time goes by. (Yes, I did get a bit misty-eyed writing those words.)

Apple must have someone after my own heart working there, because I believe they saw the same distressing situation and decided to do something about it. That something is Apple News+.

Apple News+ is a virtual magazine rack, giving you online access to some of the best journalism and publications on God’s green earth. Not only can you read the latest and greatest articles, but you can also listen to (many of) them, too! And Apple News+ is available on all Apple devices, including automobiles outfitted with Apple’s CarPlay, shown in Figure 1-4.

Apple News+ offers entire magazines (cover to cover, no less), newspapers (local, national, and international), articles curated to your tastes, audio articles, and more. Chapter 6 gives you all the details you need to make the most of Apple News+.
