Apple News App Expansion to More Countries

Apple has some exciting news for News app users! According to a report from the Financial Times, Apple is gearing up to expand its News app to more countries. Right now, the app is available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, but it looks like Apple is working on making it accessible in even more places.

The Financial Times says that Apple is really ramping up its efforts to bring the News app to new markets. This move is partly driven by the potential for increased advertising revenue on the platform. This revenue comes from ads within the app and from the premium Apple News+ subscription service. And it’s not just about ads – Apple is also looking to bring some of the fun U.S.-exclusive features, like word games and Sudoku puzzles, to countries like the U.K.

Did you know that Apple first launched the News app back in 2015 with iOS 9? Since then, it’s grown to reach around 125 million users every month, contributing to Apple’s expanding services division. This division, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Pay, brings in a whopping $96 billion annually.

So, if you’re a fan of the News app, keep an eye out for updates as Apple works to bring it to more countries around the world. Who knows, you might soon be playing word games and solving Sudoku puzzles right from your News feed!
