I'm hoping that Apple News+ and similar models start to take off. It's not a cure-all, but if there's a huge take-up it could help a lot. I have a NYTimes subscription mainly to spend Sunday reading a big heavy newspaper made of paper (and to support journalism), but other than that I read stuff from all over and there's no one place I read everyday. I'm happy to pay $X/month and have it split up between a bunch of different places depending on what I'm reading...

I work for a company that publishes to Apple News+ (a project in which I'm directly and indirectly involved). It's definitely being taken seriously as a publishing platform.

  I'm excited for it, but if it ends up being not in chronological order it's a non starter for me. You can pry my neatly ordered 1 line tall list of RSS feeds from my cold dead hands.

    That would probably be a worthy improvement—a list view, and sortable. But AFAIK some feeds are chronologically ordered with a small "published @" stamp at the bottom of each card. Others are not. I think it depends on how they feed the channel, and otherwise the channel is a little agnostic. I only work with the premium content (bundled magazine issues — an entire issue is published at once) so I can't speak for the free content directly, but I know our free content is published to the channels when published to web, so they should be chronological, I think. Other outlets may have a different workflow. The "Today" page is curated as well as listing popular articles, so it might vary. So is Spotlight. We meet with Apple periodically so I'll keep that point in mind and ask them about it.
