The only person readier than you are for the Super Bowl is Siri

Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner, and the only person readier than you are is Siri.

On Monday, Apple revealed how its famous AI assistant will be helping sports fans gear up for the big game, and suffice it to say that you’ll be more in tune with the action this year than ever before. From team rosters to player comparisons to historical statistics and records, Siri has all the information you need to impress your friends and family with the depth of your football knowledge.

And when it comes to actually watching the game, Apple TV owners have the ability to tune in simply by saying, “Watch the Super Bowl.” So don’t worry about finding the right channel (or even the remote) — Siri has you covered. If you’re not planning on watching from your living room, however, Siri can also tell you where to watch the game, or send you reminders to do things like wear the right team’s jersey.

You can even get granular with Siri, asking things like “Who has more rushing yards this season, Tom Brady or Matt Ryan?” or “What college did Tom Brady play for?” And of course, Apple’s smart assistant knows some things about party planning. You can have Siri remind you to pick up supplies and ingredients in the days leading up to the big game, or make sure you have directions to the nearest sports bar so you don’t miss a second of the action.

And when all is said and done, you can get Siri to take you home — or at least, book a ride that can get you from the festivities to your front door, if you’re not in a condition to drive. And if you need something else, remember to just say, “Hey Siri, What can you help me with?”

Most folks with an Apple device know that the easiest way to access its digital assistant is to call out “Hey, Siri.”

But it now appears that Apple is aiming to simplify the wake phrase by eliminating the word “Hey,” and going only with “Siri.”

Your Apple Watch’s SpO2 sensor might be a lot better than you thought

The Apple Watch's SpO2 sensor that allows wearers to measure their blood oxygen levels was impressive when it first debuted, but it may be even more accurate than initially marketed.

According to a recent study, the Apple Watch's blood oxygen reader is comparable to medical-grade pulse oximeters. Although Apple Watches shouldn't be used in lieu of official medical devices, it's nice to know that the readings they're displaying are accurate enough to be reliable.

I ordered an iPhone 14 with only 128GB of storage, and you should too

In the iconic words of Tim Cook, Good morning! It's officially iPhone 14 pre-order day, and in typical Apple fashion, the pre-order experience seems to be all over the place. Some people, like myself, have had a pretty smooth time getting in and out with their purchases. Other folks have taken to Twitter to complain about incorrect shipping addresses, failed card chargers, a non-functioning trade-in system, and more.

But assuming the technical aspects of the Apple website/app work and you're able to select the iPhone 14 configuration you want, you're soon faced with a big decision to make: How much storage do you need on your new iPhone 14?
