I am in Ann Arbor for work this week and so of course I had to check if my #iPhone5 could check the weather and of course it could!
But I couldn’t believe how much information density we have given up over the years. The iOS 6 screen is so compact and so “to the point”, I think it would break a modern designers brain 🧠 The modern iOS 18 version does write out the forecast in plain English… but is that really useful? Would you give up the whole week’s forecast just so you get a pretty picture and a sentence???
It also highlighted the amazing weather I left behind in Tokyo. But I didn’t need an app for that part.
