During bouts, Apple Sports provides dynamic on-screen animations and real-time updates for total strikes, significant strikes, takedowns, knockdowns, submission attempts and control time, alongside an animated strike map. Match info also surfaces via Live Activities on the iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch. [2][1]
