Read about Apple
Presents a menu of options for opening into Apple, HomeKit, or Apps stories in the News app.
Show my saved stories
Opens into the Saved Stories tab of the News app, where you can quickly access news stories you’ve saved for later – I’ll often save multiple stories as I browse, then visit this tab to read them all one-by-one.
Show me tech news
Uses the Show Topic action from News to open into the main Technology news category, which I’ve found is a good superset or generic term that captures all the best stories from tech subjects I’m interested in before I dive into more specific topics.
Check the Front Page
Pulls a scan from the New York Times or San Francisco Chronicle’s website with today’s front page.
See stories from Bay Area
Opens to the full “Local” area in the Apple News app. Create your own for your Local news section.
