Not trying to overly criticize, nitpick or detract from the point of the story, but is that really a headline that belongs at a journalism publication like The New York Times?

IMO it's newsworthy that this feature is going to exist and a lot of people outside of the tech world have no idea unless someone tells them about it. We've been reading about "phone addiction" in newspapers for ages, now there are tools to help manage it.

If you're a parent of teenagers with iPhones this is a pretty big story and the headline at least answers the implied "did it work?" question instead of trying to bait you with it.

I'm surprised, given that it is the NYT that the headline isn't:

For Limiting Teenagers' Screentime, Apple Provides New Controls

The NYT also reviews TV shows, movies, and Broadway productions. Are those any more/less newsworthy than a change to a system that millions of its readers are holding?
