Apple has announced News, a personalized application for your news.
News is a new application for iPhone and iPad coming in iOS 9, built around your favorite news content. It lays out your news in a grid, animating as you scroll. News allows publishers to create custom content, including typography and layouts, bringing their branding into the app.
In addition to custom typography, publishers can also insert inline photo galleries, videos, and more. Publishers include The New York Times, Quartz, and ESPN. The New York Times offers users 30 free articles every day.
When you first open News, it will ask for your favorite publications. While reading, you can scroll through articles, and swipe left and right to move to a new one. You can bookmark articles to read later, and save your favorite publications and topics. News will also suggest new things to read based on what you read.
News will roll out first in the U.S., U.K., and Australia.
