iPhone 14 Pro Features Live Sports Scores in Dynamic Island on iOS 16.1

[apparatchik]

Not yet via Apple's TV app. But I think some developers are working on third-party solutions for other sports leagues.

I think sports leagues could update their own apps too with support starting with iOS 16.1.

I want NHL.

I think most of the world would be looking to Forza et al for association football (soccer in the US) scores.

Need a decent sports widget like in iOS 15 that shows the score of a number of your followed teams.

Sadly it’s the wrong Premier League. 🥴

 

[cocky jeremy]

Can't wait for ESPN's app to have this.

 

[SnappleRumors]

I can understand why this might be of interest to some, but I couldn’t care less about following US professional sports. College sports and World Cup - yep.

Does Apple just have a hard time getting other industries onboard with their new offerings. Homekit, Car key, door key, state ID, sports, all seem to come out half baked with very limited buyin. NFL is one of the largest sports in the US and it’s the beginning of hte NFL season. MLB is nearly over as we’re just about to enter playoffs.

I think this has to do with Apple being secretive about certain features and choosing to introduce the features with a select few third parties.

On the other side NFL and other third parties obviously want further engagement with Apple customers but they don’t necessarily want to give it away. They are probably weighing stuffing instant updates behind a paywall or offering delayed ones for free vs letting other apps do it.

 

[teflonthedon]

my gripe is that I wish it would work with your teams you follow. you currently have to in and follow each game individually and only after they start.

I'm sure once MLB releases their update.. it'll allow us to get dynamic updates of our favorite teams we follow without having to do anything...

Wow, no football/soccer for the initial release? The 2022 World Cup is starting in November. What a missed opportunity for the #1 most popular sport in the world.

I thought Cricket is the #1 sport in the world

 

[Techwatcher]

I find this distracting. A drop down notification that a team has scored is enough. Why would I want to keep looking at the score while using the phone?

Some people are never satisfied.

It is through Apple's built-in TV app (you have to hit the Follow button on each game every time.)

Any sports league could update their own app with support for this feature with their own aesthetic once iOS 16.1 is released.

I must be missing something Is the + the same as the follow? I don’t see a follow button and I’m in 16.1

This, yet I can't put the cursor between 2 letters of a word. Amazing.

I can understand why this might be of interest to some, but I couldn’t care less about following US professional sports. College sports and World Cup - yep.

I just don’t follow sports while using phone so I can see a black bar at top display score. YouTube tv records all I want. Or I’ll use an app.

Maybe it sounds better on paper or something

What do you mean? You can hold down the space bar to move the cursor. You can also press and hold on text while typing to move the cursor as well.

 

[bigjnyc]

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but you can follow 2 games at once on the lockscreen

 

[dtrj787]

I wish you didn't have to follow EACH individual game though. If I follow the team, then it should just appear if there is a game.

 

[The Don Onez]

Do you need to be an AppleTV subscriber? Which app do I need to download.

 

[partyboy4357]

Crazy that we can’t get this for English Premier League games in England

No offense but Soccer is the ABSOLUTE WORST most BORING sport ever created. Kicking a ball back and forth until a goal is scored out of sheer luck. I can't understand how that entertains anyone!

 

[partyboy4357]

Wow, no football/soccer for the initial release? The 2022 World Cup is starting in November. What a missed opportunity for the #1 most popular sport in the world.

#1 in the world maybe but not even on the radar in the US where NO ONE cares about soccer except foreigners.

 

[Satanic Goat]

As a Watford fan, I look forward to the constant live updates as we change managers.

 

[NightFox]

No, but us Brits can enjoy knowing that the Detroit Spinners are 23 for 6 and 4 at the 2nd down and 7.

 

[nlosborne]

What happens if Apple eventually removes the Dynamic Island in the future by having an under-display camera and sensors?

 

[_Spinn_]

This is really cool. I'm very excited to see Live Activities.

 

[Thebrochure]

You know... you really gotta hand it to Apple on this thing. They managed to take something that was criticized as being an eye-sore and figured out a way to market it into something positive. Now, whether or not it is something positive isn't the point. The point is that they pulled-off the perception of it being positive. And for that, you have to give them credit where credit is due... at least with their marketing department.

 

[yesyesyes]

I still don't get the hype over Dynamic Island. Isn't it just a glorified status bar?? With some sort of partition and the centre one containing the redesigned "notch".

Yeah they could do a lot of what they do with the island, with the notch. A ‘dynamic peninsula’ doesn’t have to be much less impressive. Props to Apple’s marketing team.

Hold space bar. Move. Don’t thank me.
