Before the event…
Among many things, the Apple event is expected to announce a new subscription-based video service (similar to Netflix and Hulu), a potential debut of Apple’s new original TV series catalog, and so much more.
One of the additional announcements that techies are looking out for is the development of Texture.
My prediction is that Apple will rebrand this as something to the likes of Apple News Magazines service. Analysts predict the service to be a monthly service where subscribers will receive many magazines and even a selection of full-print newspapers.
Leo Laporte of This Week in Tech is reporting that The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are among the many newspapers likely to join this service. As there is already an Apple News application that comes with every iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this potential announcement will add to Apple’s diversifying digital collection but will enlist full newspapers this time around.
