AppleInsider Staff
Apple chose to highlight AppleInsider content in its new News app at this year's WWDC keynote, so it should come as no surprise that you can add us as a source in News after updating your iPhone or iPad to iOS 9.
Adding AppleInsider is simple: Just open the News app, choose the Search menu, then type in our name. AppleInsider will show up as the top hit, and simply tapping on it will add us to your feed.
Once you subscribe, all the latest breaking Apple news will appear under the "For You" menu. You can also view our stories specifically by selecting "Favorites" and tapping on AppleInsider.
It should be noted that currently in iOS 9, there appear to be issues with a number of websites, including ours. For example, not all stories we publish appear in the News app, which relies on our RSS feed.
Our feed is following Apple's best practices policies, and we've reached out to the company in an effort to fix the launch bugs. But considering these same problems plague other sites, users should simply be aware that kinks related to News are still being worked out.
For the stories that do show up, tapping a headline will open a preview of the story, complete with an image and the lede. Simply pull the preview upward to be whisked away to our mobile site, where the full content can be quickly and easily read.
The News app features a back button in the upper left that will return the reader to the application once they are done reading the article.
News also allows users to share, favorite and save articles for later reading.
Readers are also invited to install the official AppleInsider app, built for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Using our app offers push notifications for breaking Apple news as it happens.
While the ad-supported app is free to download and use, those who subscribe to AppleInsider Plus gain an ad-free experience and the ability to save your favorite articles to Instapaper and Pocket.
Of course, the same content is also available through our traditional websites, accessible from your favorite desktop and mobile Web browsers. And readers can also stay up to date by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, through our newsletter, and via RSS.
However you read AppleInsider, we thank you for doing so.

Step 1: Move to the US
Apple news is only available in the US unfortunately

You can change your region in settings to United States and the News app will show up, but if you change it back it'll take the News app back. Even if you get the News app to display, open it, add AppleInsider and another source of news, then change the region back to your local one (from United States), it'll kill the News app you had opened and remove it from your home screen. They *really* don't want you running this app outside the US right now.
Yet it's on the beta iOS here in the UK. Ah well, patience: I must learn patience...
I have to say I agree with Macstories review of Apple News. I think like Apple Music they tried to boil the ocean and it's just too overwhelming. I think starting small and making sure the machine learning algorithms were spot on would've been the way to go. The app itself is beautiful and reading stories in it is a real pleasure.the curation just isn't quite there yet. https://www.macstories.net/stories/apples-ios-9-news-app-review-broken-news/
