The New Yorker now available on iPhone

The New Yorker, a very famous magazine, is now available for the iPhone; nearly two years after making its way to the iPad. The video above includes a clip where the briefly go over all the features of the new application, such as how if you subscribe it will download the new one every Monday morning automatically, how you can zoom out to see the whole publication for easy navigation in the app, and more. They will be letting users try it out by providing two free publications on August 13th and 20th. Being on iOS, there will of course be videos and other multimedia that can’t be included in the print version.

This is what The New Yorker had to say:

Wonderful news! We’ve finally figured out how to take the weekly print edition of The New Yorker and fold it down to a three-inch size that fits inside your iPhone. Our new app has every story, every cartoon, every em dash, every illustration, and the new issue is available each Monday.

And here is the update change log via the App Store that highlights some of the key changes:

—A video introduction to The New Yorker app for iPhone, featuring Lena Dunham and Jon Hamm (iPhone only)
—Multimedia, including video, audio, infographics, slide shows, archival articles, and primary source documents
—Sharing on Twitter, Facebook, and via e-mail
—A weekly slide show of all the current issue’s cartoons, plus five archival bonus cartoons per issue
—Entry in the Cartoon Caption Contest directly from the app
—Links to updated web content, for perspectives on the news of the day
—Place-holding within articles
—Multiple navigation tools

So there you have it, The New Yorker has finally come to iPhone.
