Mystery Meat UI in iOS 15 Weather App
So i woke up this morning to find my iPhone had updated itself to iOS 15 (which i don’t recall approving!) One thing that’s different is the Weather app. They made a bunch of changes; some are obvious and some are cryptic.
The first thing i notice is that instead of showing high temp/low temp, they’ve switched it to low/high. Which is strange, because literally EVERY OTHER WEATHER APP IN THE WORLD DOES HI/LOW. Not to mention every single weatherman.
- There’s also a line between the temps. What does that indicate?
- Some of the lines are short, some are long. What does that indicate?
- Does the placement of the color on the line mean anything?
- What does the line color mean? Is it temp? It might be air quality, but who knows?
It’s so annoying when designers change a design that was working perfectly well.
