For a fixed monthly fee, Apple’s new podcast service gives you access to exclusive audio shows. Here’s what you need to know about Apple’s paid podcasts subscription.
Apple Podcasts subscription revealed
Apple will present the service during the Spring Loaded event, the first Apple event in 2021. The new podcast service gives subscribers access to an exclusive range of shows for a fixed amount per month.
The podcast service will have a permanent place in the Podcast app that is installed by default on all Apple devices. After logging in with your Apple ID you can take out a subscription, after which you will have access to the full range.
It is no coincidence that Apple now comes with its own podcast subscription. The company has been building services such as Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade and Apple Music for years.
Competitor for Spotify
By now also entering the podcast market, the company is competing with Spotify. That company has already spent a lot of money in recent months to buy up popular podcasts, including a show by Michelle Obama and Joe Rogan.
The new podcast service will be available in 170 countries from next month. It is not yet known whether the Netherlands falls under this. The suggested retail price is also still in the middle.
At the time of writing, the Apple event is still in full swing. Keep iPhone so keep an eye out, because as soon as new announcements are made you will be the first to read it with us.
