Hi guys, Ive been having this trouble with my iPhone 7 since launch.

I currently live in Japan and purchased my iPhone 7 here.
As I went through the initial setup, I chose the region as Japan for currency and all and the date was automatically set to Gregorian.
However, I noticed that the dates are lined up differently than before.
I know that in Japan they go with day:month:year (5, January 2016).
But I want to change that back to month:day:year (January 5, 2016)
Its pretty hard and frustrating to look at dates like this when months come in numbers (January 5=1/5, 5, January= 5/1)

I remember I was able to do this previously on old iPhones but now it seems like I cant do it.
Is this a iOS thing? Or am I not looking hard enough?
Also the primary language is set to English and second as Japanese.

Thanks in advance.
