Apple’s Weather app refuses to point out the nicest temperature

If you’re an iPhone person, the climate is at all times a very good 70 levels. Or 68 levels. Any temperature however 69 levels, really, as a result of it seems that the built-in climate app on some variations of iOS — together with the present model, iOS 14.6 — will refuse to show the internet’s favorite number, even when the precise temperature in a given location is, in actual fact, 69 levels.

It’s not clear if it is a bug or an intentional try from Apple to chop down on 69-related humor. The rounding is just seen within the climate app itself: clicking via to Apple’s supply information from Weather.com will present the correct temperature, as does Apple’s residence display widgets.

That stated, the iOS climate app will refuse to point out 69 levels anyplace within the forecast, whether or not for the present temperature, the hourly forecast for the day, or the prolonged forecast. The rounding is particular to the numeral 69, too: The Verge has confirmed that different numbers with a 9 within the ones place, like 59 levels or 79 levels, show precisely.

It’s not clear when Apple launched the rounding right here. A telephone working iOS 11.2.1 exhibits correct information of 69 levels, as did telephones working iOS 15, so it’s potential that the difficulty is particular to Apple’s most up-to-date replace (or has been recognized and stuck already). Other climate sources, together with Dark Sky — which is owned by Apple — don’t have any subject displaying 69 levels, both.

The Verge has reached out to Apple for added remark.
