Apple News+ is offering new subscribers an extended three-month free trial of its service through Cyber Monday, an increase from the normal one-month trial offered to new subscribers, the service announced on Apple's website and on Twitter.
The new offer will only be offered to new subscribers in locations where Apple News+ is available and will run until Cyber Monday, November 29. Apple ran a similar promotion last year. Once the trial ends, the subscription will automatically renew at $9.99 per month.

Apple News sucks. It would suck even if it were free, but it especially sucks when you're paying to still see obnoxious ads littering every news article and magazine. Also, favoriting or blocking news sources has almost no effect, as Apple's "human curated" news layout never adapts to user preferences and will show blocked out spaces for news items from sources the user blocked.
The only Apple interface that's actually worse is that of the Apple TV app.
All news on the internet is free. Name me a time in the history of the internet where it wasn't. Go on, try. I promise you, you won't be able to do it. That's because the second it comes out, it's screen-captured, copy-and-pasted or just quickly re-blogged or re-tweeted via condensed summaries.
Editorals are a little less vulnerable to this, but even they are swiftly pulled out from behind their digital paywall if people deem them important enough.
All news, every opinion... it's all free on here. Every last bit of it.
Time: BBS on 3600 Baud and today! Late 1800’s to present!
1. Financial Times, Financial Post, Bloomberg and Reuters are ALL online and you cannot view all their articles form time or current day for free! Try it on your phone tablet or PC/Mac/Linux machines you cannot without a subscription see ALL their content of news.
All newspapers worth their weight in content and excellent writing (not talking about blogs here) is paid content. (Sure one could steal a newspaper doesn’t make its content free tho).
There you’ve dropped the gauntlet I’ve answered now test what I’ve said and I’ll bet you real news isn’t publicly available. Not copy/cut/pasted:
1. Not everyone or anyone one is posting ALL daily global, regional, nor local news for free. Copying a headline and reposting or sharing on any social media is NOt news it’s a headline. The content within is the news and not all news as I’ve said and gave 3 examples is NOT publicly free.
So in the words of the Virgin Mary ‘come again?’ ;)
I’ve really come to enjoy Apple News. It’s now my first stop when reading news because it aggregates all sorts of news and views from across the spectrum. I want to have my views challenged.
The real value is in all the magazines that are included in News+. If you’re a magazine reader, it’s an absolute steal. Just my GQ, PopSci and National Geographic subscriptions were more than what I’d pay for News+. Now it’s included in Apple One, it’s just fantastic value.
What I think Apple News needs more of now is exposure to a larger audience, perhaps through Apple’s more established platforms. Apple TV+ is starting to take off. The remaining gaps there are live sports and live news. I’d love to see a nightly news program anchored by an established name in news.
Apple can make a major difference in a world that has been broken into factions that interpret facts loosely, by establishing a well researched, traditional news broadcast not founded in opinion, but in delivering the facts.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
