>Apple News+ is ~$13 The list of publications included

Fyi... Apple News+ subscribers don't get the full subscription to all the participating publications. This means a subset of articles and/or partial articles (teasers) that require extra payment to get past a paywall to read the rest of the story. This surprises some people.

There is confusion in that thread.

People seem to be complaining that they can’t access Washington Post articles, but in 2024, when that thread was written, The Washington Post was not included in Apple News Plus. It joined in 2025 (https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/29/apple-news-just-added-the-was...).

What you could do before that was register your Washington Post subscription, if you had one, with the Apple News app, then you’d be able to read full Washington Post articles - perhaps this was confusing the forum posters?

I see that happen in the free Apple News, but had not seen it with the Apple News+ subscription.

They may be confusing the 2, similar to how people confuse Apple TV: separately a device, an app, and a subscription service
