Will Apple spend $1bn to launch TV/music/news subscription bundle?

Earlier this year Apple acquired Texture, a Netflix-style magazine service that gives subscribers unlimited access to over 200 publications for a monthly fee.

And now it seems to be turning its attentions (and, supposedly, $1bn) towards creating a bundled digital service that would incorporate those magazines alongside news content, Apple Music and its own original video programming, according to The Information’s sources.
