Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Apple has launched a new app for sports scores and betting odds when it only provides access to live scores and team stats. Secondly, the author states that users can disable betting odds if they want to but does not mention anywhere else in the article where these options are located or how they work. Lastly, the article mentions Apple's involvement in live sports such as MLS Season Pass and Friday Night Baseball without providing any context on what those services entail.

Fallacies

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Apple created Apple Sports and Eddy Cue is quoted as saying certain things about it. However, this does not necessarily mean that what he says is true or reliable. Secondly, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric used in the article such as 'gives sports fans what they want' which can be seen as a form of emotional manipulation to get readers on board with Apple Sports. Lastly, there are several examples where the author uses dichotomous depiction by stating that Apple Sports is designed for speed and simplicity while also mentioning features like live betting odds and play-by-play information which suggest complexity.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Apple's Sports app will stand out from other sports scores apps because it doesn't represent a team or league and isn't incentivized to engage users for long sessions. However, this statement is false as Apple has been investing heavily in sports content and news through its acquisition of rights and airing of Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer games, adding additional sports journalism to its News app, bidding for National Football League games last year before losing out to YouTube, and being a player in upcoming rights negotiations for the National Basketball Association. Secondly, the article claims that Apple's Sports app will be tightly integrated with other Services apps such as TV and News. However, this statement is also false as there isn't any mention of integration with Vision Pro headset which is best Apple product for watching sports on a big virtual display.
