Starting March 28, you’ll have to pay a subscription fee to enjoy full and complete content fromThe New York Times on your iPad.
Even with viewing the newspaper on your browser, you’ll still need to pay up. But that’s only after you read 20 articles within one month’s time. It’s free up to a certain point which may be good for the casual reader.
If you click on a link from a social media site or Google, you’ll be allowed to read up to 5 articles per day, per reader. The “top news” section will be free for iPhone and iPad users, but you must subscribe to the NYT app to get more content.
The pricing options are as follows:
- $15, every 4 weeks, gets you full content from NYTimes.com and an iPhone or other smartphone app.
- $20, every 4 weeks, gets you full content from NYTimes.com and an iPad or other tablet app.
- $35, every 4 weeks, gets you full content from NYTimes.com and with any smartphone and tablet apps.

The NYT will eventually offer in-app subscription purchases which will give Apple a 30% commission on each sale. The other option is to buy subscriptions through NYTimes.com starting March 28. A test version of the subscription plan is available now, but only in Canada.
