Descrizione
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
The Angular Material Datepicker does not announce the day of the week (which is present in the table header) when using VoiceOver on iOS. Currently, VoiceOver reads the selected date as “July 3rd, 2025, row X, column X,” but omits the associated day of the week.
This behavior does not meet [WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.1: Info and Relationships (Level A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/info-and-relationships.html), as the relationship between the date and its corresponding day of the week is not conveyed to assistive technologies.
### Reproduction
Steps to Reproduce
1. Enable VoiceOver via Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver
2. Open Safari on an iOS device.
3. Navigate to the Angular Material Datepicker demo page:https://material.angular.dev/components/datepicker/overview
4. Open the datepicker by selecting any of the date input fields.
5. Use VoiceOver to navigate through the calendar and select a date.
6. The VoiceOver does not read the Day of the Week.

### Expected Behavior
VoiceOver should announce the full date, including the day of the week.
### Actual Behavior
VoiceOver only reads the date and position (e.g., "July 3rd, 2025, row X, column X") but does not announce the day of the week, which is visually present in the table header.
### Environment
- Angular: 18, 20
- CDK/Material: 18, 20
- Browser(s): Safari
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): iOS

Inizia con la demo panoramica del datepicker di Angular Material e riproduci il problema usando VoiceOver in Safari su iOS. Traccia il comportamento di accessibilità del datepicker per le celle del calendario e le intestazioni delle tabelle, quindi verifica che VoiceOver annunci il giorno della settimana insieme alla data selezionata senza perdere le informazioni esistenti su righe e colonne.
