I’m so disappointed in the design of the new Apple Sports app, which does not degrade gracefully on smaller screen sizes, like my iPhone SE2.

Apple used to get this stuff right.

@Kirkman is this the default text size?

@lonnie I do have display zoom set to “larger text.”

Changing it back to default helps a little, but the scores still overlap.

Here are two screenshots for comparison.

@Kirkman @lonnie Not the best solution, but as of iOS 15 you can adjust text size per-app, via Text Size in the Control Center (add if necessary).
@Kirkman @lonnie That’s odd. The version I just downloaded from the App Store doesn’t have “Yesterday”, “Today”, “Upcoming” as buttons. They move up into the navigation controller when scrolled up. And there have been no updates indicated in the app’s history. Are they just buttons on the SE2, but not larger devices?
@lightandshadow @lonnie I re-downloaded just now, and the design remained the same with the three as buttons. So maybe that’s a device difference?

@Kirkman @lonnie Both an iPhone 15 plus and iPhone SE would be considered as having a horizontal size class of .compact, regardless of what the device width is in pixels. So, they’re checking the width of the device in pixels?

And it doesn’t support Split View on iPad when Stage manager is off. So, it doesn’t support multi-tasking. Something is funky.

@Kirkman @lonnie This is totally maxed out font size on my 15 pro max. The rows are growing taller, etc.

@Kirkman @lonnie You have “Button shapes” turned on in accessibility. And the entire row is a button.

Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Button Shapes

Thats why there are backgrounds around the ranges, why content seems to spill out of the rows, etc. Still, not good, but at least it makes some sense. It significantly changes the layout

@lightandshadow Turning off button shapes changes the behavior of “today,” “yesterday,” etc. But the other issues of content overlapping persist.
