Apple is now switching browsing from Safari to New + for subscribers
Some publishers have discovered that Apple has added a new command in iOS 14 and the new MacOS 11.0 system, which is that if you browse in Safari looking for news and it appears to you on one of the sites, and when you click on this site, it searches here Safari Is this site and news service available on Apple News + and you are subscribed to it? If present, your browsing will be directed to the Apple app. This causes great harm to news sites that depend on visits to generate income from ads, which is more than the revenue from Apple's service, which they say has very poor revenue and advertising.

Spotify praised the developers, whether large or small, who decided to stand before Apple and work to make the store a fair and competitive place.
