Evidence of Upcoming Apple News Magazines Subscription Service Found in macOS 10.14.4

Developer Steve Troughton-Smith has found evidence of Apple's rumored magazine and news subscription service in macOS 10.14.4 beta.

Earlier today, Troughton-Smith posted numerous images which reveal references to magazine genres, issue notifications, and more.

"Unsurprisingly, it looks like Apple News' magazine service is prepared to launch on macOS too", said the developer.




Notably, the magazines are PDF-based and can be stored offline.

"There's a bunch you can discern about Apple News' magazines from what's in the OS betas: for example, the magazines are PDF-based (like most iPad magazines), and issues can be stored offline. The magazine genres are listed as pictured. Most of its code is written in Swift."




Earlier this year, a landing page for the new service was discovered in iOS 12.2 beta. Apple is expected to launch the subscription alongside a video service at a special event on March 25th.
