The news of Texture's shutdown isn't necessarily surprising. Apple made a similar move in 2015 when it shut down the Beats Music app after launching Apple Music following the company's $3 billion acquisition of Beats. But Apple Music is also available on Android devices, and it's unclear if Apple plans to follow the same pattern with its news subscription app.
The Texture magazine subscription service announced today it will be discontinuing service next month on May 28 following launch of the new Apple News+ subscription service, which offers access to 300+ magazines and a few select newspapers for $10 per month.

Figure 3. Map showing the modern distributions of key Malus species in relation to known Pleistocene glacial and permafrost limits during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Distribution range (1) is an estimate of the modern range for Malus sylvestris based on description in the Flora Europeae. Note that the use of this species and related hybrids as ornamentals complicated estimates of a late Holocene range distribution. Distribution range (2) represents the estimated range of the European wild apple during the early and mid-Holocene, based on archaeobotanical data, as presented in Figure 4. Distribution range (3) represents an estimated range for M. orientalis, based on the Flora Europeae. Distribution range (4) is the core area of the Tian Shan wild apples, and range (5) is the broader distribution of closely related species/subspecies, including M. niedzwetzkyana and M. kirghisorum, which are now taxonomically clumped into M. siversii populations. Glacial and permafrost cover estimates for the LGM were made based on Davis (1976); Hewitt (1996); Hewitt (1999); Petit et al. (2003); Svendsen et al. (2004).
You can use other types of apples, such as Fuji or McIntosh. Fuji is closest to the flavor profile with a slightly more flower blossom taste. Granny Smith apples offer a more tart flavor profile, and I recommend using them with a combination of sweeter varieties for a balanced taste.
