Apple has also officially put out the event tagline which says "It's show time" and also has sent an animated countdown GIF. The same tagline was seen in 2006 when the company had given a preview of Apple TV and announced that it would start providing movies on iTunes.

This subscription is reported to look like the layout of Netflix but will be for newspapers and magazines making it convenient to use.
A report by The Wall Street Journal had indicated that Apple was going through a rough patch with respect to negotiations as it was reported to demand 50 percent revenue from the service.
