The audiobooks player on the iPhone has one of the best Now Playing user interfaces today (landscape support, a clever rewind/forward gesture with the artwork, dark mode), but a lot of the audiobooks experience in Apple Books is otherwise limited.Īpple is in the business of selling individual digital audiobooks, but it’s hardly a focus for the company.
AUDIO PLAYER FOR MAC WITH BOOKMARKS UPGRADE
Personally, I would love to pay Apple to stream audiobooks - and the service could have features that audiobooks in Apple Books doesn’t offer today.Īpple could upgrade the audiobooks experience in Apple Books without a subscription service, but it might not be interested in investing in the platform without a broader business behind it. We’ve since seen iBooks become Apple Books with a redesigned app user interface, but no ‘Netflix for books’ yet. My colleague Ben Lovejoy wrote last year that Apple’s Texture acquisition highlighted the opening for an Apple ebook subscription service modeled after Kindle Unlimited. The lesson here may be that if there’s a digital good you can pay Apple for once, there’s likely an opportunity for a subscription service for that category with recurring payments.ĭigital books would qualify, and Apple would hardly be the first to rent ebooks for a monthly fee. There’s even a rumored App Store game subscription service.
New subscription services are rumored to debut this year, too, including Apple’s first original video content service and a separate service that integrates digital magazines in Apple’s News app based on Apple’s Texture acquisition. Between iCloud storage and Apple Music to the App Store and iTunes, there’s certainly no shortage of ways to give Apple your money for digital goods.
