Apple just redid the Weather app in iOS 15 to be more beautiful.

Apple is sending millions upon millions of their users to this experience. “Kill the Goblin!” And go further still and it’s full-on porn-y spam. Keep scrolling and you’ll quickly be subsumed by shitty click-bait-y ads. On load, you’ll see crappy ad after crappy ad. Apple has outsourced its soul to an absolutely awful webpage. The Weather widget launches the Weather app on iPhone, and I’m certain the Weather widget launches the Weather app on iPad. Now I’m worried folks who check the weather on their iPhone are overpaying for shipping.Īnd before you try to tell me this isn’t the Weather app for iPad, hear me out. I couldn’t find this curious but helpful data point on the Weather app for iPhone. According to the Weather app for iPad, you can save 50% on global shipping with code REACH from now through July 19.

Something else unique about the Weather app for iPad is a neat tidbit about UPS. I missed the announcement about a paid version of the Weather app, but Apple is really into services these days so it’s no surprise. The top of the Weather app for iPad includes a giant banner for a subscription version with more features and fewer ads. Information is still organized into blocks, but a lot of the blocks are weirdly not about weather conditions.

The latest version added support for MacOS, an interface that leverages the new operating system, and the ability to navigate via your keyboard. So, why not have your weather conditions there too? Then at a glance you can check the current temperature and click for your forecast. The menu bar on your Mac is a handy spot to quickly see the date, time, or battery level, plus have fast access to your Notification Center, Spotlight Search, or Siri.
