By default my website, which is made with the Newspaper theme, shows in Reader Mode on iPhones. Is that something I can enable within the theme?

BTW that is only when you are reading posts, so not on the home page. As soon as you open a post the Reader Mode is ‘switched on’

Not really part of the theme … you might check the Apple help support on this, as iOS does this for all content which has proper modern article tags on pages and tries to do this for ALL article content based on the number of words and content mix — this helps comply with visual impairment (section 508) laws, etc.

You likely need to go explore the Apple Developer info, and the related topics on Google from the past few years. This has nothing to do with the theme.
