Today I submitted the Portfolio to be included in Apple News when it's released with iOS 9 this fall. After doing much research and reading about the Apple News program I am happy to have my content included in the news app. I hope this allows my website to be discovered by more iOS users and get in the hands of a new audience.
As of right now the RSS feed is connected to Apple News but in the future I will be able to submit my content in the Apple News Format. The Apple News Format will provide an overall better experience than RSS with some of the advantages including:
- Stunning content, authored and optimized for all iOS devices
- Faster content rendering
- Beautifully crafted layouts with custom typography, photo galleries, videos and animations
- Ability to connect existing content management systems to News
- Rich tools for measuring user engagement
I'd be curious to hear what you think of the channel once it appears in News once iOS 9 is released. I'll update you once it happens. Enjoy.
