The Guardian Pulling Its iPad App In Favor Of A New Subscription-based App

Did the folks over at The Guardian paper accidentally let loose some details on Apple’s upcoming subscription service for digital magazines? The publication announced that it will be removing its current app from the App Store and replace it with a new subscription-based app that will cost GBP2.99 ($4.5) for six months and GBP3.99 ($6) for 12 months. The Guardian will also have an ad-supported version released in the US for free. Apple is expected to announce an iOS update that will offer the option of subscription plans early this month and hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer in order to find out the full details.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
