Weather app definitely has issues on macOS Ventura since it was launched. At least on my intel MacBook pro, whenever I zoom in to view precipitation, any time I try to close it, it will very reliable crash the app. This, however, is likely not related to the recent Weather server issues and it doesn't seem to be an issue experienced on iOS or iPadOS.
My iphone constantly keeps disconnecting from my home wifi and throws me back to mobile data since the update. I also thought it’s my router acting up but it happens with a different model as well. Happy I don’t rely on this right now!
Sure would be, instead of the usual public release method.
The weather issue is a 100% server side. The Wi-Fi issues on the other hand are OS issues.
So true, I have been browsing the new one plus 11 today, it’s time to move on, Apple is a relic of what it was, you can take the Apple out of the Jobs, but you can’t take the Jobs out of the Apple it would seem!
Thank goodness!!! I was starting to think there just wasn’t any weather in my area.
Then weather popped back up and I knew how to dress for the day. 👊😅👍

No, remember everything has to be really difficult with Apple they haven’t even released a statement yet about the weather or anything else not working just the usual silence, this is a company that just doesn’t respect the people using its products so much so that it doesn’t even have the decency to make a statement and tell people what the hell is going on and more to the point they obviously don’t even test the stuff I mean how does this even happen this was supposed be beta tested everybody was running it, Apparently it was all over the Internet. People are sending bug reports and yet the day it’s released it’s broken. This company hasn’t got a clue how to write software That works.
I never had WiFi issues when I upgraded from iOS 16.3.1 to 16.4, and this was with my old cable modem router
Well, just a test it out I just downloaded iOS 16.3.1 and installed it on my phone and the weather was working perfectly all locations. And just to add, I also tried installing a side loaded app that wouldn’t sign so it’s looking like it’s an API issue somewhere it’s even affecting sideload apps being signed using developer accounts.
If there's a reason to update, which it looks like there is, considering it's only Tuesday I'd say this week most likely as opposed to waiting an entire week for a point point update...
Maybe fix the geofencing in Focus that they broke with the 16.4 update? Although I'm not counting on that being fixed until 16.5. I may try the 16.5 beta, once there's a public version of Beta 2. And yes, I did report the issue on the Feedback site.
...always with bug fixes comes the need for more bug fixes.
I've been having issues getting weather info in my shortcuts since iOS 16 - it probably fails about 30% of the time. Ever since 16.4 it has been failing more like 90% of the time.
I also had this issue. Seemed to be an iCloud sync problem. I'd delete locations from the app on my iPhone and they would sometimes be removed from other devices. Sometimes not.
Last time I noticed it happening was a couple weeks ago when I would've still had 16.3.1, though.
I think the haze of nostalgia has made you forget that there have always been issues, bugs, workarounds and incompatibilities. None of this is new. What is new is that iOS has grown ever more complex and there are simply more features that can break. But there was no "golden age" when everything worked all the time.
It's a solution in search of a problem. Nobody asked for this.
People have wanted an Apple television for nearly a decade. But only ever got an Apple TV set-top box.
Been waiting on an Apple Car that seems destined to never materialize.
AirPower that got canceled, but every few months we're told "is actually sorta kinda still in the works...maybe" while third party accessory makers have managed to develop and sell charging pads that fulfill nearly all of the promises AirPower was supposed to deliver for $99 or less.
But just like
exactly, the initial release of snow leopard, everyone’s favorite OS X to point to when they talk about how stable Apple used to be, had a bug that was erasing peoples entire home folders.
And Apple took almost two months to fully fix it.
Yes, BUT!!! It was also the last time I can remember I was able to open 60+ apps on a laptop with 8GB of Memory and still have some to spare..
I wish we could get somewhat close to this level of performance again. Seems like this M1 MBP could do more than what it's currently capable of...
Funny now, looking at the apps I had open in that picture from 13 years ago LOL
Most of that stuff isn't even a thing anymore.
Well fired up MB Air M1 and checked weather. Not loading "my location" or next city over in Northern Virginia. But Varadero Cuba is fine? WTF?
Apple is preparing to release iOS 16.4.1 for the iPhone, according to a source with a proven track record for upcoming software updates. It's unclear when the update will be available, but it will likely be released this week or next week.
Minor updates like iOS 16.4.1 are typically focused on bug fixes and security improvements. Since the release of iOS 16.4 in late March, some iPhone users have complained about issues with the Weather app and having to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords. Apple's system status pages acknowledge issues with the Weather app and WeatherKit.
iOS 16.4.1 would be a stopgap update while iOS 16.5 remains in testing. Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 16.5 last week with a few minor changes, including the addition of a Sports tab in the Apple News app and the ability to start a screen recording with Siri. iOS 16.5 will likely be released to the public at some point in May.
Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 at WWDC 2023, which runs from June 5 through June 9.

It does seem like the weather app issues are server side, but hopefully this update also fixes the colors inside the app. Apparently some Jony Ive acolyte got ahold of it and removed the color from the sun, making it one step closer to his dream of a dreary light grey & white world without contrast.
But only inside the app, not in the widget. Yay for inconsistency?

I don't have issues with the weather app, but I think having location access set to "always" and leaving it open in the background helps.
Edit: The widget now says no data, but the app itself is fine. Weird.
