\nIt’s unclear what exactly the role will entail, but it suggests Apple has bigger ambitions of some kind for its News app on iPhone, iPad<\/a>, and iPod touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple News is not a firsthand source of news, so Kern’s role could be at least partially related to curation of other news sources. In February, Apple executive Eddy Cue<\/a> said<\/a> the company wants to “vet and make sure that the news providers” in Apple News are “legitimate,” in an effort to cut down on “clickbait.”<\/p>\n

Apple News gathers stories from several leading news sources and displays them all in one place. The app launched on iOS 9 in the United States, and it has since expanded to Australia and the United Kingdom. The app was redesigned for iOS 10<\/a> with a bolder, simpler interface that puts content front and center.<\/p>\n
