   The paid magazine subscription service, Texture, used to be able to be   
   used on any device, OS-X, Windows, Android, iOS. Just like iTunes. Apple   
   bought the company. The product is now called Apple News+, and is OS-X   
   and iOS only: “To continue reading, you’ll need a compatible Apple   
   device.”   
      
   There is no Android or Windows equivalent to Apple News+, it's not like   
   music services where you have competition like Spotify, though of course   
   Apple Music is available on Android as well as iOS.   
      
   Selling a subscription service and writing off 87% of the global market   
   of mobile devices, and 88% of the global market for computers seems   
   counter-intuitive.
