During our heatwave here in the EU, I’ve noticed that Apple is getting more and more generous in what the temperature is supposed to be. Here it is pictured side by side with the actual, measured temperature via a Kestrel 2000.
I suspect that this is AI being its usual solicitous self, continually making it better for people asking, ‘Is it cooler on the coast?’ It ain’t, by the way, same here as it is in Paris. That’s my theory, but I’m open to all conspiratorial suggestions.
A Kestral 2000 is a live thermometer. Doesn’t it seem weird that Apple is off by this much.
Did you read what I wrote? The phone doesn’t have a thermometer. Yes, it’s strange that it’s off, but I don’t know where Apple gets its weather data from.
I’m aware the phone does not have a thermometer. It doesn’t seem strange to you that it’s underreporting by that much?
No.
It’s always that far off where I live, as microclimate is a thing.
The averages from numerous sensors informs the phone app, while my local temp isn’t the same as my town average.
This is like logic 101
