Flipboard is your Personal Magazine. It's a single place to discover, collect and share the news you care about. Add your favorite social networks, publications and blogs to stay connected to the topics and people closest to you.
Apple News and Flipboard are, in a way, like two slightly bewildered tourists who accidentally end up at the same dinner party. Apple News arrives dressed impeccably, speaks in a calm, measured tone and has brought a perfectly curated bottle of wine—one that fits precisely with the host's taste because Apple News did its homework. It sits quietly in the corner, smiling at everyone in that minimalist, polished way that suggests everything is quite under control, thank you very much, as long as you're using an Apple device.
Flipboard, on the other hand, is the life of the party who showed up with a scrapbook of vacation photos, postcards and a few clippings from that time it helped organize a protest in a tiny village somewhere you've never heard of. Flipboard doesn’t bother with wine—it’s brought an entire picnic basket full of unexpected delights, each with a story and arranged like a chaotic but oddly satisfying collage. It bounces from conversation to conversation, inspiring people to swap anecdotes and debate the relative merits of their favorite sandwich fillings.
The difference between them is not in the quality of what they bring, but in their demeanor: Apple News is there to make sure everyone’s experience is elegant and tailored to the nth degree, while Flipboard would rather you all got messy together, created your own adventure and perhaps ended up with a communal scrapbook that you didn’t quite mean to make but wouldn’t trade for anything.
