Apple News+ subscribers can now access The Washington Post without paying anything extra, marking one of the biggest additions to Apple’s news service in recent years. The subscription already includes The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and hundreds of magazines, and this move adds another major U.S. newspaper with a reputation for investigative reporting and political coverage.
All Washington Post content is available directly in the Apple News app for subscribers. Unlike subscribing separately to the newspaper, there is no additional fee or separate login required, which simplifies access for readers who already rely on Apple News as their main hub.
Apple News+ launched in 2019 and has slowly grown its catalog of newspapers and magazines. By securing big names like The Washington Post, Apple is positioning the service as a more comprehensive alternative to standalone subscriptions. The inclusion also strengthens Apple One bundles, where News+ is offered alongside Apple Music, iCloud, Apple TV+, and Fitness+. For families or heavy news readers, this makes Apple’s service more cost-effective compared to maintaining multiple individual accounts.
For users, the benefit is straightforward: unlimited access to one of the most influential news organizations in the world without extra cost. The Washington Post covers national and international politics, culture, and global affairs with a depth that complements the existing publications on the platform. Readers now have access to a wider variety of perspectives within the same app.
Apple News+ is still limited to regions like the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, so availability of The Washington Post through the service depends on where subscribers live. Even so, the addition signals Apple’s continued investment in making Apple News+ more competitive against standalone newspaper apps and rival subscription services.
You can subscribe to Apple News+ for $12.99 per month or get it as part of Apple One bundle, which costs $19.95 per month and also features iCloud+ with 2TB storage, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and Apple Fitness+.
