Apple’s iOS 27.2 update introduces a new Multiview feature in the Apple TV app that transforms how users consume sports on iPhone. Previously limited to Apple TV, iPad, and Vision Pro, this tool now lets users stream up to four live sports events at once on any compatible iPhone with an Apple TV+ subscription.
Multiview expands beyond larger screens
When watching a live game within the Apple TV app, the interface now displays a “Multiview” button, allowing quick access to the multi-stream setup. For certain sports—such as Formula 1—Apple includes preset views (team-specific or custom), featuring driver cams, track maps, and more. Users can customize which feeds they want screened together.
Tests on iPhone 18 Pro showed all four streams could display simultaneously, demonstrating that the new feature works even on smaller screens. Still, the Multiview experience is especially compelling on Apple’s larger foldable, the iPhone Duo, thanks to its extended display.
What this means for sports fans
Apple is already streaming major leagues like Formula 1, Major League Soccer, and Major League Baseball via its Apple TV platform. With Multiview, subscribers can monitor multiple live games or angles at once—ideal for followers who track more than one sport or want enhanced viewing from different perspectives.
The addition rounds out Apple’s strategy to unify live sports access across all its devices, giving iPhone models the same capabilities as Apple TV and Vision Pro when it comes to live-streaming multiple events.
As the rollout continues, device support and performance are likely to vary depending on screen size and processing power. iPhone Duo users will benefit most from the larger canvas and folding display, though all users gain access.
In short, Multiview on iOS 27.2 brings a major upgrade for sports lovers, letting them follow the action like never before—be it from multiple games or different camera views.
Analytical Angle: By enabling Multiview on iPhones, Apple is closing the gap between mobile and TV-class streaming experience. The iPhone Duo’s form factor especially shines here, positioning foldables as more than novelty—they’re becoming tools for richer media consumption. The next milestones to watch: expansion of supported sports, optimizations for smaller and older devices, and whether this pushes competitors to offer similar multi-feed streaming options.
