Me too. I only wanted to try it out with VoiceOver, only to discover that I
couldn't get it without changing the region. Even so, it's not there on all my
devices.

Thanks for clarifying Chris. It irritates me that we seem to be behind in
the UK with firmware releases. My interpretation of what I have heard and
listened to in the past few weeks is that the UK would have the Apple News
app upon the iOS 9 release, not 9.1. It is the same with Hims: they have
released the US firmware for the U2, but the UK version won't be out for a
few weeks yet. I know I am moaning, but with some justification me thinks!

No. For example, Sky News is listed as a source in the News app.

Chris, does that mean that the publications etc are from the States as
well though?

Kind regards,

Hi all
iOS 9 sports a brand new News app which allows you to read the news
straight from your device. But there is a catch. While it is available in
the US, UK and Australia initially, you have to change your device's region
to United States. To do this:

1. Open Settings > general > language and region.

2. Double tap region and double tap on "United States" in the long list
of countries. You may want to use your rotor and set it to headings so you
can jump to the letter quickly and easily.

3. Double tap the "done" button, and reboot your device when prompted.

I've just done this on my iPhone 5s, and now have the News app. It is
completely accessible with VoiceOver.

Happy reading!
