Apple widens Sports availability and leans into AI accessibility and Siri work

Apple expanded the Apple Sports app to more than 90 new countries and regions, taking the app to more than 170 countries and regions in total. The update also adds FIFA World Cup 2026 support, including tournament groupings, customizable scoreboards, Live Activities, widgets, and quick access to Apple TV for live matches. gsmarena.com

Apple is also pushing forward on Apple Intelligence-backed accessibility and Siri capabilities. That work points to a broader software focus beyond media and sports, with new AI-assisted features intended to make Apple devices more useful across everyday tasks. gsmarena.com

On the hardware side, Apple’s long-running design research still includes liquid-metal iPhone Pro concepts. The evidence available today does not show a launch, but it does keep that material direction in the background as Apple continues balancing software expansion with future device design ideas. theverge.com macrumors.com
