The 2015 edition of the WWDC has seen Apple Newsstand bury his application to benefit from a new, called News. A free application for iPhone and iPad that will stick to the iOS update 9, scheduled this autumn, whether you like it or not.

Except News, unlike Flipboard, will control the content watering his application with a definitely nice owner but proprietary format. Publishers therefore need to go under the gauntlet of Apple. Again.

Re / ad code that Apple would let the media 100% of the advertising revenues generated via News, and might even help through its iAd governed to sell unsold in exchange for commission “very favorable”. However, on the Newsstand model, Apple continues to take 30% fee on subscriptions.

News, if it contains the code and functionality of Flipboard, is also a competitor Instant Articles, powered by Facebook in May . Apple insists in a statement on the fact that the use of its service “does not compromise the preservation of personal data”. A kick in the ass at Facebook, whose capital is based on data of its users.

Instant items, an integrated mobile application Facebook, proposes the contents of nine US media , British and German. Publishers have the ability to control the advertisements that appear directly beside their contents. In this context, 100% of advertising revenue due to them. If they choose to leave Facebook officiate as governed, it punctures 30% commission.

News his side was not presented naked. Apple has already signed a partnership with Conde Nast (GQ, Wired, Vogue, Vanity Fair …), the New York Times and ESPN sports channel. The application will be initially available in the United States, Britain and Australia.

“We believe that there has never been until now such a magnificent experience Reading “provides about him Susan Prescott. This will no doubt please the editors of 1069 Information reading applications identified this morning at the Apple Store.
