  In Safari you can hit the Share button at the bottom then pick News.

    Odd. That is not there for me and I cannot add it :( I have the same problem as OP. I wish it were simple.

      The “News” icon (to open a paywalled article in Apple News) only appears in the Share sheet in Safari.app proper.

        It’s a bit amusing to me that this sounds like another, different anti-trust issue. Apple’s browser having this feature, which other browser vendors (presumably) can’t add, to open another app would also look bad to an EU judge.

  Usually if the article is on Apple News+ it will come up if you search the headline on the “following” tab

why do we want an apple link that just redirects to the original article? is this just "look at me i'm a mac user" levels of spam?

  I believe this is a way to use their own apple news subscription to access the article instead of using the archive version: It only redirects if you're not logged in to apple news.

    So it's spam in the eyes of everyone who doesn't happen to subscribe to their service of choice? If they want to read an article through their news app they are of course free to do so, but why spam that link?

      Is it really spam if it was posted a single time? Just downvote it and collapse the thread if you don't want to see it.

        And flag it, bc it's a no value ad.

        If someone submit a Spotify link as an HN submission, I'd hope that's flagged for spam too.

      I’m sorry for posting it.

  Apple News+ is a bundle subscription to many otherwise paywalled newspapers, so people who have it can read it through there. If you view it on an Apple device, it takes you to the Apple News app and opens it there, rather than redirecting.
