As a sports-obsessed Apple journalist, the reveal of Apple Sports, a dedicated sports score app, felt like a watershed moment, a fitting parallel to Lionel Messi joining the MLS. Yet, 24 hours later I’m left scratching my head, confused as to how Apple could launch such a barebones experience, and still waiting for a notification to tell me last night’s score.
When I first joined iMore over a year ago, I thought up an idea for a feature that would pit my most-used apps on my iPhone against each other to determine the ultimate sports score app. You see, I’m unhealthily obsessed with sports, from football (I refuse to write soccer), to darts and everything in between, I spend the majority of my time consuming something sports-related in some form or another. That means the most used apps on my iPhone 15 Pro Max are sports score apps like Flashscore, sports news apps like The Athletic, and my fantasy Premier League app where I take fantasy football far too seriously.
