Apple pushes back Podcasts subscriptions to June

Apple

Apple was supposed to roll out its Podcasts subscriptions this month. But after some creators ran into problems with the feature, the company has decided to push back its release to June to ensure they are "delivering the best experience for creators and listeners." Apple made this announcement to the creators via an email sent on Friday. Some of the issues included creators' inability to log into Apple's Podcast Connect portal or seeing delays in new episode availability. Apple said it fixed these "disruptions" already.

Apple's Podcasts subscriptions will offer subscribers to participating podcasts additional perks like early access to episodes and ad-free listening. The service will launch in 170 countries.
