I haven’t heard anything about it.
But News is available as a widget in LockScreen in the netherlands, showing news from select sources.

thanks tartarus. yeah thats cool. i dont get if they can have it as a widget why not have the app available too. We have Apple Pay and Transit maps here in Ireland. Now we just need the News app, TV app for iOS and all the maps and siri features. And NO APPLE STORE WHY APPLE

You’re preaching to the choir.
You Irish have it actually much better than us Dutch.

We don’t have Pay here.

The lack of the News app is mostly due to licensing and stuff. That needs to be done on a country basis, and is not easy to roll out.
Especially if those news outlets fear that Apple will cost them their income.

Oh I didn’t know you guys didn’t have Apple Pay. I know it’s frustrating. Oh ok that’s interesting. It’s surprising that in the 3 or 4 years it’s only in 3 countries

Hopefully it will come soon. Do you have apple stores in your country

I have an Store at 10 minutes distance on a bicycle and one that’s 20 kilometers away.
The other one is 65 kilometers away.

We are blessed with Stores, yes.

We don’t have TV app also. But I don’t mind that much.

Enjoy your iPhone X.
I’m gonna get next year’s version.

At least they expanded the iOS tv app at wwdc. Yeah I’m loving it. I see theres already rumours about it already which annoys me this one is only out 2 weeks I don’t upgrade every year I upgrade maybe every 3. iPhone X is great and I love it. I see they’re launching a new iPad with Face id in 2018
