iOS 12.2 developer beta suggests Apple News is finally coming to Canada

It looks like Apple News, Apple’s news aggregation platform, is finally making its way to Canada.

Multiple Apple developer beta users have confirmed that both iOS 12.2 and macOS Mojave 10.14.4 includes the launch of Apple News in Canada.

Apple News first released in the United States on September 16th, 2015 alongside iOS 9. Apple’s news app pulls content from various publication’s through RSS feeds. To be included in Apple News, publications must conform to the company’s stringent RSS format.

Further confirming Apple News’ imminent Canadian launch, Apple’s iOS 12.2 beta release notes also state that the news aggregation platform is making its way to Canada.

iOS 12.2’s beta notes read as follows:

Apple News will be available in Canada with iOS 12.2, and is now available for Canadian users on the developer beta. Apple News in Canada supports both English and French. Readers can access a bilingual experience when they follow a channel in a second language.

It’s also worth noting that Apple says publications included in the current beta version of Apple News do not reflect “all content that will be available on the platform.” Further, Apple states that ‘Top Stories’ and ‘Digests’ are not updated as frequently as they will be in the final version of Apple News.

It’s unclear when Apple news will be publically released. Given the release of an Apple developer beta is often followed by a public beta, the final version of Apple News likely isn’t far off.

AppleInsider was one of the first publications to confirm the news through its own developer beta account.
