If you scroll down on to the bottom of Apple Weather it has a “Report an Issue” button which allows you to report current weather conditions at your location.

I have no idea what happens to that data and if it contributes to the report in any way.


Wow I would have assumed that was to report a bug not a weather call. Darksky had a great ui for quickly reporting the weather and encouraged it as the primary feature of the app.

Would love to see a making of for this. Would be fascinating seeing the experimentation involved



Getting the ducks in line for a sale?


Exactly what I was thinking, if it proves to be true they will move whatever division the Playstation line is in before Holiday 2020.


So what’s the consensus on Disney buying Sony Pictures and acquiring the rest of the Marvel movie rights?


This seems pretty clear. They’re giving you a heads up that in a future iOS version you won’t be able to get awake/pickup information whilst using the background location api.
