Apple’s new News app seems to be missing the boat when comes to covering some of Apple’s own problems. The app’s “Mobile phones” news channel offers a pretty broad selection of stories – everything from puff pieces about the new iPhones to Kim Kardashian’s latest tweeting adventures.

One thing you won’t find? The headline-making news around the world that hackers infected hundreds of apps in the iPhone app store with malware that originated in China. And, yes, I scrolled back for three days and still nothing. An oversight? I’ve asked Apple for comment.

To be fair, as my colleague Rob Pegoraro points out, while the malware news is also missing from the News app’s “Smartphone” channel, it is included in the “Technology” channel.

Meanwhile, here are 10 stories that did make the cut in the News app’s “Mobile phones” channel over the past few days:
