Apple will offer a new app for news, with a personalized feed based on your interests and choices. The app pulls text, photos and video from a variety of sources. Stories that use Apple's new News format will look best on the app. Features include the ability to save articles to read later and to get suggestions on new publishers and topics by selecting "explore."

It's not immediately clear how Apple will handle news sources that require subscriptions. Apple says it has worked with leading organizations such as The New York Times and ESPN to bring stories to the app.

The app will initially be offered in the US, the UK and Australia. It was unveiled Monday at the technology giant's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
