Apple's new subscription service for news and magazines, Apple News+, had over 200,000 people subscribe to a free one-month trial in the first 48 hours it was available, according to the New York Times.

It's a critical data point to gauge consumer interest in Apple's new subscription services. Apple News+ is the first of three monthly subscriptions that Apple hopes will transform its business from a hardware maker to a company that makes a substantial amount of money selling services to iPhone users.
