iPhone Has News just killed Flipboard?

No, Keychain didn't even put a dent in 1Password. Its too automatic and invisible to be useful .
Flipboard was dead a while ago because of Facebook and Twitter. I think Apple News does it so much better though
Flipboard deserves it for not giving us a single feed with all subscriptions or the option to sort articles by oldest. Good riddance.
I deleted Flipboard few months ago. Can't pin point why I did though but I noticed I was on it lot less. I use to LOVE it.I'll be deleting Flipboard and Yahoo News come iOS 9.
So will we be able to choose whatever publications and websites we like to read to show up in our feed, or will we be stuck with whatever outlets Apple has already entered into a deal with?
They have to apply and get approved by Apple. Publishers can already start singing up.
I haven't used Flipboard in months. Used to love it though. It'll be interesting to try out News.
I don't plan to switch from Flipboard, I like homogeneous apps; but I'd certainly give Apple News a try at least.
I don't see apple updating this much after release, at least for a year. Still thinking third parties have the edge with features etc. We'll see once it gets released.
All the bundled apple apps seem to just be forgotten about for long periods of time. How long has Podcasts or iBooks gone without an update? I know podcasts is getting one now at least. But I don't think they've touched it since it got bundled last year...

Slightly sidetracking, but is the News app not available yet on iOS 9 Beta 1?
Just installed iOS 9 beta 1 but it's not there. I live in the UK if that matters.
Thanks.

I don't see why the News app (and platform) is better than Flipboard. Yes, it looks nice and I am sure it will be really sleek and work very well, but so does Flipboard. Another plus for Flipboard is that it's available on much more countries than the News app will probably ever be. It is not that difficult Apple to make a News app available worldwide. #fail
Much smaller companies have already done stuff like that. Look at HTC for example.
They offer Blinkfeed and it works really great. It's my News aggregator of choice and it will remain. It's actually one of the main reasons I use my HTC One M9 instead of an iPhone..
