Not all magazines are formatted for Apple News right now. The ones that are have the ability to change font size. The New Yorker in particular has audio of their fiction pieces, but I've not seen anything else in the ones I've briefly gone through so far otherwise. They've managed to keep the ad spreads in, which I guess helped in the deal. If I remember correctly, Amazon managed to do away with those in the original Kindle formatted magazines (not sure if that's the case now).
For those wondering about archives, if you search for a magazine in Apple News, their main portal will have a backlog of recent issues. Most of them right now are just scans of the pages with the OCR'd text like in the above screenshots, but that'll change as time goes.
The first thing I thought when I heard about the Apple Card was that so many people have their credit reports frozen (including me) because of the Equifax breach. It's going to lead to problems for those that forgot all about it, and then other people will just not want to unfreeze a report just for that reason.
The other announcements didn't interest me either (nor do I think this News subscription will go well for them in the long run). More interested in the updated iPad mini from last week.
