News app

According to Apple, "News" is an app that is powered by the new custom-designed Apple News Format, a digital publishing format that allows publishers to create beautiful layouts.

"News seamlessly delivers the articles you want to read in a beautiful and uncluttered format, while respecting your privacy, because Apple doesn't share your personal data," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services.

According to Cue, the company already has nearly 20 publishers representing more than 50 titles joining the app, such as Condé Nast, ESPN, The New York Times, CNN and Bloomberg.

Apple Music

During the typical "one more thing" segment of Apple's event, Cook introduces "Apple Music", a single, intuitive app that combines the way to enjoy music -- all in one place.

According to Cook, Apple Music is a "revolutionary streaming music service", a pioneering worldwide live radio station from Apple broadcasting 24 hours a day and a great new way for music fans to connect with their favorite artists.

Apple Music combines the largest and most diverse collection of music on the planet with the expertise of world-class music experts who have programmed playlists for your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, Apple TV and even Android phones.

Apple Music will be available starting on June 30 in over 100 countries, said the company.
