As someone with zero interest in sports, it would sure be nice if we can finally remove that sports tab at the bottom.

Edit: Doesn’t appear to be a way to switch it out or remove it. I would have loved to replace it with either Food or Puzzles. I anticipate using the new recipe section a lot.

Why not just break Recipes out to its own app? It seems a bit odd to merge news and recipes together... "breaking news: a city-killer asteroid has an 11.7% chance of striking Earth next month... and here's a recipe to some delicious, quick & easy snacks to enjoy while watching the fiery show." ;)

Curated content is fine and all but this seems like it should be its own app to me. Else, why don't we just fold Music & podcasts into this too... maybe movie trailers... tax prep software... todo lists... etc.

Would make perfect sense for these to be available on the HomePad that’s supposedly coming.
