As always, you’ll want to keep an eye on when your trial date ends. Apple will automatically renew your News+ service for $10 per month ($13 CAD) if you haven’t cancelled before your free period is over.

It’s not certain if or when Apple might offer a promo like this again. However, there have been rumors that News+ got off to a slow start. Campaigns like this might help fence-sitters who’ve been curious and wanted more time to sample Apple’s wares. And look at it this way: if nothing else, you’ll have plenty of reading material to tide you over during the winter.

Unlike when Apple closed Beats Music, there’s currently no support for Android or Windows. You’ll have to pick up an iOS device or Mac if you want to use News+ right now. And simply speaking, the likelihood of a subscriber buying an iPad or Mac just to keep service going is rather slim. Those users are more likely to jump to alternatives like Scribd, even though those services might not offer the same selection as Apple.

It’s an unusual move when Apple is otherwise making its services widely available. Apple Music is available on Android, Windows and even third-party smart speakers, while Apple’s TV app will be available on smart TVs as well as competing media hubs like Fire TV and Roku players. It doesn’t appear that Apple is eager to make News+ ubiquitous, at least not in the short term.
