Apple’s Scott Forstall, senior vice president of iOS software, highlighted the new feature while presenting upgrades and enhancements to the company’s mobile operating system. The new feature facilitates easy news updates and offline reading. New newspaper and magazine issues are automatically downloaded to Newsstand using the same subscription features built into the app store.
