Apple News+ is expanding its audio stories feature beyond the United States, five years after its initial launch. The professionally narrated stories, which began as a US-exclusive offering with approximately 20 stories per week, will now be available in select new countries. This expansion marks a significant step for Apple News+, indicating a growing investment in audio content and a broader reach for its subscription service. The move aims to cater to users who prefer listening to news and articles, offering a convenient and engaging way to stay informed.
