Inside Apple’s Spectacular Failure to Build a Key Part for Its New iPhones

Reminder: If you have Apple News (or get it bundled with Apple One), it includes access to the Wall Street Journal among many other paywalled sources. On iOS you can use the share sheet to open the URL in news and it will auto-open it. Otherwise you can search for the title.

I do wish this feature was better integrated, and using the share sheet to open with any app including News seems always confusing - you're never sure if you have to scroll the list of icons or scroll the list of names, or edit it to add it to both lists, and different apps seem to appear in both lists in different contexts.

But it works well when it works :D

NB: News+ only comes with the Premier level of Apple One, not with the Individual or Family tiers.

NB: Apple is pointlessly exclusionary and you can't get News or Fitness in most of the world.

Super top tip. While I have a shortcut that sends these articles to archive.today, I have Apple One and have long wanted to view them without feeling like I was stealing.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I ran into a little trouble where I tried to long-press the link here on HN and use that share sheet to open in News - it’s not there

I eventually got there after clicking through to the paywalled article.

I kind of wonder what’s different between the two.
