IOS and the clock app icon

[Lance]

A tiny little thing I only noticed yesterday for the first time: the icon for the clock app is a real time analogue clock face. Simple things etc.

So why can't the weather app icon show the actual forecast for the coming half day.

Too much like hard work?

You need an Android phone for that currently showing the sun and 11c

Does that make it a widget and not an icon?

I just use the Weather Pro app, for a start its more accurate and as for wanting to see what the weathers like on my phone 24/7 well I have windows in my home for that, its called 'looking outside' its a great app...  I must say I never noticed the clock app being like that, not that I can see it well enough to discern the time anyway.

It's nice to know the outside temperature sometimes, leaving the window open to get an idea can get expensive.
