CNN news feed in Apple News temporarily pulled
CNN has decided to remove its content from Apple’s news aggregator app, and it’s very likely that we’re just talking about a temporary decision. Luckily, it appears that we’re not talking here about some serious conflict, but rather, a routine reason is behind the move.
CNN is said to be still in talks with Apple because its contract is up for renewal. Reportedly, the new contract is in the works, but the companies are probably working on the conditions at the moment. Until then, however, you’ll have to read CNN’s news elsewhere, not in the Apple News app.

At the moment, it’s not clear when CNN’s feed will return to Apple’s app.
Apple News is an app that aggregates news content for your convenience
Apple made the Apple News app to work as a native news aggregator for your iPhone. It offers you a variety of news sources in one place, so you can catch up easily with all your favorite media.
Meanwhile, there’s also a service called Apple News+, obviously a paid one. It gives you access to paywalled content from multiple publications. Currently, you can subscribe to Apple News+ for $12.99 a month.
Apart from getting access to paid publications in one place, without having to giggle around multiple websites with ongoing subscriptions, you also get the ability to set up an offline reading library, a recipe repository, and play a few daily games.
CNN’s feed isn’t going to be missing from Apple News for long, most likely
Honestly, I don’t think this is anything to worry about. It just feels like one of those behind-the-scenes contract things that big companies do every once in a while. Still, it’s a bit annoying when something you use every day suddenly disappears without warning.Anyway, it’s not the end of the world – we all know how to open a browser – but yeah, but it does break the usual morning routine a bit.
