BloombergApple Inc is planning to unveil video and news subscription offerings next month, the first major new digital services from the company since 2015. The video service is similar to Amazon.com Inc’s Prime Video and Netflix Inc products, and is to include TV shows and movies acquired or funded by Apple. Apple has been working on its streaming video service for a number of years under the guidance of former Sony Pictures executives Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht. Along with an Apple subscription, there would be some free content. The updated Apple News app is to include a Magazines tab similar to the app Texture, which Apple acquired last year.
