Apple to acquire digital magazine subscription service Texture<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Remember magazines? While the web has certainly caused a downturn in so-called “dead tree media,” there are still
hundreds of popular magazines on shelves. Today, Apple announced that it is acquiring Netflix-like monthly magazine subscription service <a href="

Texture offers a one week free trial and then costs $10 a month. Subscribers then have access to read (through the app) digitized versions of over 200 popular magazines, from AARP Magazine to Yoga Journal. There are plenty of popular titles included, including Rolling Stone, People, Forbes, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, and Sports Illustrated. And yes, the
Macworld digital magazine (and
PCWorld digital magazine) are included, too.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3262529/data-center-cloud/apple-to-acquire-digital-magazine-subscription-service-texture.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
