Apple News + is a great way to stay up to date with the latest news and events from around the world.
They provide many perks, such as the ability to download content, listen to stories through their narration feature, and share content with other users.
However, due to the rise of other free news platform apps such as The Guardian, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and many more, you may find that paying $9.99 every month for Apple News+ might not be worth it.
