SPORTS-LOVING iPhone owners are about to receive a blockbuster new upgrade in iOS 18.
Apple is adding several new features to its free Sports app.
Live scores and play-by-play info will also be found in the Dynamic Island on newer models, and on the Apple Watch[/caption]
Additional leagues, such as the Champions League and Europa League in September, will become available on Apple Sports over time[/caption]
The Apple-native Sports app will soon offer Live Activities for all teams and leagues available in the app, according to the iPhone maker.
Live Activities will give iPhone owners live scores and play-by-play information on the lock screen – so fans can keep up with the game at a glance.
Live scores and play-by-play info will also be found in the Dynamic Island on newer models, and on the Apple Watch.
The move means Live Activities inside the Apple TV app will be unavailable with iOS 18.
The app will cover 15 leagues, including NFL, NBA and Premier League – but even more in the future.
Additional leagues, such as the Champions League and Europa League in September, will become available on Apple Sports over time.
Apple added that the Sports app will offer “quick access to scoring drives presented alongside the view of every game play,” along with a new dynamic drive tracker that “lets fans visualise where the ball is on the field at any time.”
Later this year, Apple said it would add a new drop-down navigation bar and enhanced search functionality inside the app.
Here’s the full list of leagues Apple Sports will cover:
NFL
NCAAF
MLS
MLB
NBA
WNBA
NCAA basketball (men’s and women’s)
NHL
NWSL
Premier League
Bundesliga
LaLiga
Liga MX
Ligue 1
Serie A
Inside iOS 18
iOS 18 will be the launchpad for Apple’s first artificial intelligence (AI) features.
Apple Intelligence – as it’s so aptly named – will power a new super-smart Siri, as well as reschedule meetings for you and natural language search for photos.
iPhone owners will also be able to search for scenes midway through a video, such as “When Katie takes her first steps” or “When Mum blows the birthday candles out”.
In the UK, there are five Mayfair stickers to be found this year.
Four of these much desired Mayfair stickers will be concealed in your favourite food packaging, and one will be hidden on the app as part of the Double Peel game.
Meanwhile, there are millions of Park Lane stickers available, yet you’re only half way there if you manage to nab one before the game finishes on October 18, 2024.
There are plenty of other rare stickers, including Bond Street, Strand, Coventry Street and more, with incredible prizes on offer.
Players in the UK must be aged 18 years or older.
The more you purchase, the more stickers you will earn.
If you buy a Big Mac meal with fries and a drink, you will collect five stickers in total.
What happens if you get both the Mayfair and Park Lane stickers?
If you collect both blue stickers, you are entitled to £100,000 cash.
However, McDonald’s has warned that restaurant managers can limit the number of stickers per order if they suspect you’re wasting food just to play.
You can find your nearest McDonald’s restaurant using the chain’s store locator.
If you collect property sets in other colours, you could also be in line to win some big prizes, including:
4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on Channel 5 ‘to reboot’ iconic reality series after nearly two decades off air
ALMOST two decades since it last captivated audiences, Faking It is reportedly set to make a comeback with Channel 5.
According to industry insiders at Broadcast, the reboot is in the “advanced” stages of development.
A popular reality show might be making a comeback[/caption]
Industry insiders said that a reboot of Faking It is underway[/caption]
This time around the show would air on Channel 5[/caption]
Production company Banijay is leading the way with bringing the iconic programme back to life.
Faking It originally aired on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2006.
The show, which can still be streamed on Channel 4’s online platform, was highly acclaimed during its original run.
It even won two prestigious BAFTA awards for its innovative approach to reality television.
The premise of Faking It saw ordinary members of the public paired up with seasoned professionals to learn a new skill or craft over the course of a month.
Participants were then put to the test by competing against genuine experts in the field they had been training in.
The ultimate goal was to fool a panel of judges, who would determine which contestant was the ‘faker’ based on their performance.
No other details are known about the potential reboot as of yet, but fans of the original can look forward to seeing one of their favourite reality shows back on screens again.
Corrie alum Will Mellor will front an exciting new series of the anthology show, The Teacher.
Meanwhile former EastEnders star Jo Joyner is going to lead a new six-part mystery drama called The Wives, and Hollyoaks actor Claire Cooper has swapped soap drama for an enthralling rags-to-riches story.
Channel 5 poured a lot of energy into its original dramas, including popular series like The Teacher, All Creatures Great and Small and Dalgliesh, which are returning to the small screen later this year.

WE all love a boot sale bargain.
But one mum got more than she anticipated when she picked up a little bag for her daughter for just 50p.
Chloe had rummaged through the boxes at the front of one of the stalls and found the cute rainbow bag, immediately grabbing it for her little girl.
She then took it home – thinking nothing more of it.
But when she opened it, she was stunned to discover two pricey bracelets inside.
“I got home and I’ve opened it up and I found this bracelet here – it’s a Joma jewellery bracelet that’s meant to be £18!” Chloe said in a video on her and her friend’s Bootsale Mums TikTok page.
The dainty silver bracelet featured a tiny gold star charm on one side, and looked to be nearly new – with no tarnishing or anything.
Her shock continued when she then pulled out a Pandora bracelet.
“I’ve asked my friends and a few of my friends have said this is real,” Chloe added.
The double leather bracelet retails for around £55 in the famous jewellery store, and it even had a charm on it too, which would have set the owner back about £20.
So in total, she managed to nab £93 worth of jewellery for just 50p.
There were even some little clip on earrings inside too, although Chloe wasn’t sure if they were worth anything.
“So all of that 50p!” she concluded.
“I mean, I’m not gonna lie I feel a little bit guilty!
“But what a find!”
“Bootsale surprise!” Chloe captioned the video.
People were quick to comment on the TikTok, with one writing: “My daughter’s bags were always full of bits like this when they were younger.”
“No way! That’s good lol. I loveee Joma wear them all the time,” another added.
Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain
Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.
Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
“I was so shocked when I opened it at home!” Chloe replied.
“I got a Pandora bracket with 3 charms for £1 at charity shop,” a third said.
“Bracelet was current stock £99!”
As others insisted Chloe didn’t need to feel guilty about her find.
“Not your fault – they should have checked before selling it,” one wrote.
“I wouldn’t feel guilty!”
“That’s on the seller to have not checked before selling,” another added.
“I always check every pocked in bags/clothes I’m selling.”
