OK, Chris. I'll make my choice accordingly.

Nothing to do with voices, just how dates, numbers and currencies are displayed etc. It may, however, change the default dialect of VoiceOver and text to speech in general.

So, what's the result of this for those in the UK? Does it mean, for example, you can't choose UK voices?

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!
