Isn’t that precisely Apple News’ pitch?

Apple News is just selected highlights from papers like the WSJ (i.e. those that have their own pricy subscriptions) though, no? I've thought of giving it a try.

You describe Apple News. Apple News+ has all the articles.

This is what I was going by: "Apple News editors select the most important, compelling articles and surface them in Top Stories, Spotlight, and other collections. These must-reads include everything from the latest headlines to in-depth coverage of the biggest stories of the year. An Apple News+ subscription unlocks even more premium articles and issues from the world’s best newspapers and magazines."

It makes it sound as if Apple News+ has more but not necessarily everything. In any case, I should probably give it a try.

I subscribe to Apple News+. I can't speak for the newspapers because I never looked at those, but the magazines are page-for-page reproductions of the print magazines, though some are enhanced with hyperlinks and usable tables of contents.

Apple News is kind of garbage, unfortunately. Hidden sources still take up space which (in my case) makes the home screen an ugly mess.
