So you've backed up your apps and data to iCloud and updated your Apple device to iOS 9 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/16/ios-9-is-now-available-for-download/). The new font, smarter Siri and slicker multitasking will probably take some getting used to, but did you notice that one feature was missing? Yes, Apple News (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/08/apple-news-app/) is not available to UK users -- at least not yet. So how do you get it? The official answer is: you can't, unless you're willing to change the default language on your device. According to reports (http://digiday.com/publishers/uk-publishers-disappointed-apple-news-delay/), UK publishers were made to wait a little bit longer because Apple wanted to put all of its focus into making sure the US launch went off without a hitch.
