I'm curious how often lockscreen widget data refresh.
On the one hand, there have been a few annoyances due to probably data not being refreshed often enough:
- Weather app showing next hour precipitation view while widget first shows regular view, then shows 'no data available' for a while, and then finally gets to showing the precipitation view (by the way, they should optimize the text for the widget so that instead of showing 'possible light...', it says something like 'poss lt rain'
- Sun event widget showing sunset time for at least 15 minutes after sunset before flipping over to sunrise time
- Next calendar event widget showing current event for at least 15 minutes after the start time before showing next event (while this decision I guess could be by design, not sure I agree with it if so)
On the other hand, I would imagine there being battery impact on very frequent refresh, especially pulling location data.
