How Apple Could Benefit from Its Acquisition of Texture
Apple (AAPL) is acquiring Next Issue Media, the owner of digital magazine subscription service Texture. Next Issue Media was founded in 2009 as a joint venture of several publishers such as Condé Nast, Hearst Magazines, and News Corporation (NWSA). Next Issue Media launched Texture in 2010, allowing consumers to access more than 200 magazine titles in one place. A Texture subscription costs $9.99 per month.
