iPhone Weather, Stocks

iPhone Weather

I’ve noticed a few suspect things with the iPhone. First, looking at two this morning, our weather widget/app was broken. The temperatures are different for Richmond (they were updated 3 minutes apart, yes). But they were updated during the 10 o’clock hour, and they indicate nighttime icons. Other cities appeared in daylight with sunshine. Incidentally, it was very bright sunshine when these were taken.

Also, on the stocks widget, sometimes the graphs are messed up: the range is off, or the stock is headed in the wrong direction despite the day’s rise or plummet of one particular stock. Quizzical.

    Same issue here. Yahoo seems to be kinda worthless for these widgets. This morning, on only one iPod Touch, I had an interesting strangeness.

    I have Mpls, MN and entered it twice while trying to get it to work. Weather was showing the wrong temp on one screen (off by 10 deg) and the right one on the other screen. Both were updated at the exact same time, both had the same forecast and icons. Also the top icon was wrong, showing the moon at night when it was already day.

    It regularly shows a temp that is completely incorrect. And not just because the airport is across town.

    I think I’m switching to iWund.
